According to reports from Iran, the US military attacked an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval base in the port city of Bushehr overnight, destroying all missile warehouses at the facility. The claim is unverified. It follows earlier reports of explosions in Bushehr and a claimed hit on an IRGC naval base, as The Zioneer reported earlier today.
In the latest development in a series of unverified claims, Iranian sources asserted at 17:06 Jerusalem that the US military struck an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval base in the port city of Bushehr overnight, destroying all missile warehouses at the facility. The claim is attributed to the IRGC and remains unconfirmed, based on a single Iranian source.
At 15:58 Jerusalem, The Zioneer first reported that Iranian sources were circulating claims of a US strike that destroyed an IRGC naval base in Bushehr. Simultaneously, at 15:58 Jerusalem, the desk also reported that opposition sources described explosions in Bushehr and alleged a hit on an IRGC naval base. Later, at 16:19 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published a bulletin citing security analyst Hananel Aviv, who attributed the explosions to opposition sources and specified an IRGC naval base target. Earlier in the day, at 06:44 Jerusalem, the IRGC claimed it had destroyed a US Patriot radar system and Navy equipment in Bahrain, a report The Zioneer covered.
As The Zioneer has reported over the past week, the US has conducted multiple strikes on IRGC positions across Iran, including in Bushehr, Zahedan, and Bandar Abbas, while Iran has claimed retaliation against US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. The reported Bushehr strike, if confirmed, would target a key IRGC naval hub.
No independent confirmation of the latest claim is available, and the US has not commented. The claim remains unverified and based on a single Iranian source.
