Iranian local sources report explosions in the port city of Bandar Abbas, according to Israeli journalist Assaf Rozentzweig. The cause, casualties, and damage are not yet known. This follows two earlier rounds of explosions reported in the same city earlier tonight.
A third round of explosions was reported in the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas at around 23:26 Jerusalem on Monday night, according to Israeli journalist Assaf Rozentzweig, citing Iranian local sources. This follows two earlier rounds of explosions reported in the same city tonight: the first at 21:42 Jerusalem, when air defense systems were activated, and the second at 22:10 Jerusalem, when at least four explosions were described by local sources. The cause, casualties, and damage from the latest blasts remain unknown.
The first reports of explosions in Bandar Abbas tonight, at 21:42 Jerusalem, coincided with reports of air defense system activations, as The Zioneer reported at the time. By 22:10 Jerusalem, local sources had described at least four explosions in the area, according to Rozentzweig. The third round of explosions, reported around 23:26 Jerusalem, extends the sequence of events in the city tonight. The reports come amid a series of blast reports across southern Iran in recent weeks, including in Bushehr and Shiraz on July 9, as The Zioneer has previously reported. A broader context of US strikes on Iranian air defense targets in the region was noted in earlier reporting.
The source of the explosions and any connection to ongoing regional tensions remain unconfirmed. No official Iranian confirmation or comment has been reported.
