Iran released what it described as updated footage of Bushehr International Airport, showing the aftermath of US strikes that have targeted the area over the past two weeks. The footage has not been independently verified.
Iran released updated footage of Bushehr International Airport on Tuesday evening, showing the aftermath of the ongoing US strikes. The footage, published by Iranian state-affiliated channels, provides a fresh visual record of the facility's condition. This is the latest development in a series of reports and visual evidence about the state of the airport since the US campaign intensified.
Earlier today, at 10:25 Jerusalem, the story thread began with Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani claiming the airport had been completely shut down after a newly purchased aircraft was struck by an enemy missile, leaving only the tail section intact — a claim that was not independently verified. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) subsequently confirmed the airport was non-operational and that the aircraft was destroyed. By 10:25, a report from Amichai Stein (i24NEWS) stated the airport had been rendered inoperable, while security analyst Yair Goldblatt posted footage on X showing the facility's condition. The Zioneer also reported earlier Tuesday on separate footage showing extensive damage at Shiraz airport from US strikes on the runway. The new footage released by Iran adds to the growing visual record of damage at Bushehr, though it originates from Iranian sources.
As The Zioneer reported on July 9, a senior American official confirmed that US strikes targeted IRGC bases and drone launch sites in Bushehr province, a region of strategic importance due to its military and energy infrastructure. The US campaign has expanded in scope and depth, targeting sites across southern Iran.
No independent verification of the new footage is available. The specific extent of damage to the airport and the fate of the reported aircraft remain unconfirmed by outside sources.
