A fire has been reported in the city of Ahvaz, southwestern Iran, on Thursday morning, according to Iranian news channels on Telegram. The fire follows the ongoing US strikes against Iranian military infrastructure, marking the latest reported incident in the area after a series of explosions earlier today.
At 02:20 Jerusalem, initial reports of explosions in Ahvaz emerged. Within minutes, Iranian state television confirmed violent blasts in the city. A second explosion was reported shortly after. At 07:18, footage of what appeared to be overnight bombings, including aircraft sorties, was circulated on the platform. The reports have evolved from unverified claims to state-backed confirmation.
The US air campaign has targeted military infrastructure across Iran, with Ahvaz, the capital of Khuzestan province, repeatedly hit. As The Zioneer reported on July 13, footage captured the moment of a US strike on the city.
The fire report has not been independently verified. The extent of the fire, its cause, and any casualties remain unclear.
