At 10:40 Jerusalem, Fars News Agency reported that two military bases in Bushehr Province, southern Iran, were struck. The report does not specify the attacker or provide details on damage or casualties. This comes two minutes after The Zioneer reported at 10:37 Jerusalem that an Iranian official claimed US strikes had hit the two bases.
Earlier today, at 01:45 Jerusalem, the first reports of multiple explosions in Bushehr emerged, followed by reports of sirens in Bahrain. Throughout the hour, additional explosions were reported, and an Iranian official eventually claimed US responsibility. The Fars report now marks the first official Iranian media acknowledgment of the strikes, though it stops short of blaming a specific actor.
Bushehr Province is a major energy hub and has been the site of reported strikes in recent weeks as part of the US-led Operation Epic Fury campaign, as The Zioneer reported on June 10 and June 11. On June 11, a Bushehr governorate official confirmed a target was struck in Dashti County highlands, but did not specify the nature of the attack.
The specifics of the attack—targets, damage, casualties—remain unconfirmed. Iranian state media has not issued an official statement. The Fars report itself is unverified by independent sources.
