According to journalist Assaf Rosentzweig, explosions were reported in the port city of Chabahar in southeastern Iran, as well as at additional locations along the coast. The cause, casualties, and damage are not yet known.
Early Sunday, a coalition of forces launched a wave of airstrikes on Iran, with explosions reported in the port city of Chabahar and additional coastal locations, according to journalist Assaf Rosentzweig. The cause, casualties, and damage remain unknown. The strikes mark a significant escalation in the ongoing series of incidents across Iranian ports and military sites.
The Zioneer first reported explosions in Chabahar at 02:52 Jerusalem, citing a single unverified source. Within the same minute, the report was updated to include additional coastal locations, and then to confirm that the explosions were part of a coordinated coalition airstrike. Earlier, at 02:38 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported explosions in the southern cities of Bushehr and Asluyeh, citing Iranian state media, and at 02:37 Jerusalem, analyst Yair Goldblatt reported an attack on a port in Bushehr.
The Zioneer has reported on a series of explosions across Iranian ports and military sites in recent weeks, including in Gorgan, Bandar Abbas, Kangan, and Sirik. Power outages were also reported in Chabahar on July 9, following earlier strikes on the port's docks. These incidents have been reported without clear attribution.
It remains unclear whether the coalition airstrike wave has concluded, and no official Iranian statement has been released. The full scope of damage and casualties is not yet known.
