Iranian media report that a US missile strike this morning hit the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' naval headquarters in Zibakhnaar on the Caspian Sea coast, causing damage. The report comes from a single Iranian source and remains unverified by independent sources. The Zioneer earlier reported the strike at 10:33 without damage details.
Iranian media reports have confirmed damage to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval headquarters in Zibakhnaar, on the Caspian Sea coast, following a US missile strike earlier today. The Zioneer first reported the strike at 09:47 Jerusalem based on a single Iranian source, which initially described a strike on an IRGC naval base in northwestern Iran. Within minutes, the location was specified as the Zibakhnaar facility, and reports began indicating damage to the headquarters.
The sequence of reports began at 09:47 Jerusalem, when The Zioneer cited an Iranian report relayed by ynet saying a US strike had hit an IRGC naval base in the northwest. Minutes later, additional Iranian reports, cited by Israeli journalist Assaf Rosenzweig, identified the target as the IRGC naval headquarters in Zibakhnaar and confirmed damage. The Zioneer published a bulletin at 10:33 Jerusalem consolidating the damage information. The reports remain sourced to Iranian media and have not been independently verified by foreign or international sources.
The strike is the latest in a series of reported exchanges between the US and Iran in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on Jun 5, the IRGC fired warning shots at US warships in the Gulf of Oman. On Jul 14, Iran claimed a US strike destroyed missile warehouses at an IRGC base in Bushehr. Other incidents include reported clashes near Bandar Abbas and strikes in the Strait of Hormuz, all unverified by independent sources.
The extent of damage to the Zibakhnaar headquarters remains unspecified, and no casualty figures have been reported. No official confirmation has been issued by the US military or Iranian authorities. The Zioneer continues to monitor for independent corroboration.
