Unverified reports indicate explosions in the Iranian port city of Chabahar and a US strike in Bandar Abbas, as the American military campaign against Iran continues into the evening.
At 22:01 Jerusalem, The Zioneer received reports of explosions in the Iranian port city of Chabahar, alongside ongoing activity in Bandar Abbas. These reports come as the US military campaign against Iran continues into the evening. The reports are unverified, and no official confirmation has been issued.
The reports follow a series of unverified explosion reports throughout the day. At 00:23 Jerusalem, multiple reports emerged of explosions in Bandar Abbas, with at least 16 separate accounts of blasts in the city and surrounding areas, including near the airport and on Qeshm Island. At 12:45, US Central Command confirmed it had struck dozens of air defense targets in southern Iran, stating the strikes aimed to "harm Iran's ability to attack commercial ships." The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it attacked US military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain in response.
As The Zioneer reported at 00:48, explosions were also reported in Chabahar earlier today, amid a wave of US strikes on southern Iran. The broader campaign has included reports of blasts in Sirik, Kish Island, and other locations in recent weeks, as The Zioneer has documented.
All reports of the latest explosions in Chabahar and Bandar Abbas remain unverified. The US has not commented on the latest strikes. The extent of damage or casualties is not yet known.
