Explosions reported in Bandar Abbas, southern Iran

Unverified reports describe explosions in the port city of Bandar Abbas, southern Iran, according to a single source. The cause and casualties are not yet known. This follows an earlier explosion report near Bandar Abbas airport earlier tonight, as The Zioneer reported.

Additional explosions have been reported in the port city of Bandar Abbas, southern Iran, in the early hours of Monday, according to unverified local reports. The new reports come after a series of blasts that began following the US confirmation of a new wave of airstrikes at 00:23 Jerusalem tonight.

At 00:23 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that the US military had confirmed a new wave of strikes in Iran, and explosions were reported in Bandar Abbas and on Kish Island. In quick succession, multiple rounds of explosions were reported in Bandar Abbas, with one source describing the bombing as 'very heavy' (The Zioneer, 00:23 Jerusalem). At 01:47 Jerusalem, an explosion was reported near Bandar Abbas airport, as The Zioneer reported. The current report adds further explosions in the city itself, though the source remains a single unverified account.

Bandar Abbas has been a recurring target in US strikes targeting Iranian military infrastructure, as The Zioneer has reported over recent weeks. On June 10, The Zioneer reported that President Trump convened the Situation Room following the downing of a US Apache helicopter, and strikes were reported in the city. Subsequent reports described strikes on air defense systems, radar arrays, and IRGC command units in the region (The Zioneer, June 11). The current campaign has involved multiple waves of strikes.

The cause of the latest explosions, any casualties, and damage remain unknown. Iranian state media has not commented on the reports, which remain unverified.
