Iranian military and security forces are evacuating key bases, ports, and police stations across multiple provinces as part of a large-scale dispersal of personnel and equipment, according to multiple unverified reports. The reported moves include the evacuation of Vahdati Air Base in Dezful, Shahid Rajaee Port in Bandar Abbas, and the Mehdi Garrison near Urmia, which reportedly hosts an underground missile complex. Rocket launchers and air defense systems are being redeployed to mountainous and forested areas, while police stations in several cities have been closed or disguised.
The latest unverified reports detail the evacuation of specific high-value military sites across Iran, including Vahdati Air Base in Dezful, Shahid Rajaee Port in Bandar Abbas, and the Mehdi Garrison near Urmia, which reportedly hosts an underground missile complex. The reports, which began circulating late Saturday evening, also describe the movement of tank columns from the 92nd Armored Brigade along the Ahvaz-Abadan road and the redeployment of air defense systems and rocket launchers to mountainous areas near Khalkhal. Police stations in Tehran, Shiraz, Kermanshah, Bandar Abbas, Nishapur, and other cities are being evacuated, closed, or disguised, with at least one station reportedly replacing its sign with a mental health center.
The new reports significantly expand on a sequence of unverified reports that began emerging earlier Saturday. At 18:30 Jerusalem, unusual movements of missile launchers and tanks were reported in Bandar Abbas and among Iranian army units in Tehran. At 22:05, The Zioneer reported on a broader dispersal of military personnel and equipment across multiple provinces. At 22:17, reports indicated that police stations in several areas had been evacuated or scaled back. The Hormozgan Deputy Governor has denied earlier evacuation claims, calling them 'completely baseless.'
The reported dispersal comes amid elevated regional tensions. As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, the United States has conducted strikes on IRGC facilities in Shiraz, and missile activity has been observed over northern Iraq. Iran's military infrastructure, including bases in Kermanshah province, has been a focus of international monitoring. The current measures, if confirmed, would represent a significant operational readiness shift.
All reports remain unverified. Official Iranian sources have not commented, and the purpose of the reported movements has not been confirmed. The desk continues to monitor the situation.
