Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reports that Iran is claiming the United States struck an electrical power station adjacent to the Bushehr nuclear plant in southern Iran. The claim follows a statement by the Bushehr governor minutes earlier that a missile hit the facility, without specifying the source. The report is single-sourced and unverified.
Iran is now claiming that the United States struck an electrical power station adjacent to the Bushehr nuclear plant in southern Iran, according to security analyst Yair Goldblatt, who cited the claim on X.
The accusation comes minutes after the governor of Bushehr Province stated that a missile struck a power station near the nuclear reactor, without attributing the strike to any party. The governor's statement, at 01:01 Jerusalem, was the first official acknowledgment of an incident at the site.
The new claim adds a specific attribution of responsibility to the US, but it remains single-sourced and unverified. No independent confirmation of the strike or the alleged US involvement has been reported. The Bushehr nuclear facility has been the subject of multiple unverified reports of US strikes in recent weeks, though none have been corroborated by official sources.
