According to a report, the US military is conducting a heavy bombing campaign along the southern coast of Iran, with explosions reported in Bushehr, Konarak, Qeshm, Bandar Abbas, Jask, Minab, and Mahang. The attacks are described as ongoing and intense. The reports are unverified.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A new report at 00:35 Jerusalem describes heavy US bombing across southern Iran, with explosions in Bushehr, Konarak, Qeshm, Bandar Abbas, Jask, Minab, and Mahang. The report is unverified, from a single source, and describes the south as "under heavy bombing by the US Army." This follows a series of confirmed US strikes earlier tonight.

The US military first confirmed a new wave of strikes at 00:19 Jerusalem, targeting IRGC facilities across southern and central Iran. Within minutes, unverified reports emerged of explosions in Sirik, Bushehr, and Minab. At 00:31, The Zioneer reported further explosions in Bandar Abbas and Kish Island, with US confirmation. The campaign has since expanded to multiple cities.

The strikes are part of a sustained US campaign against Iranian military infrastructure, including air defenses and command centers, that has been ongoing for weeks, as The Zioneer reported on June 11, July 9, and July 12. The campaign has included multiple waves, with the latest described as the most powerful.

The reports remain unverified; Iranian state media has not commented. The extent of damage and casualties is unknown.
