The Iranian army tonight issued a statement claiming that eight of its soldiers were killed in the American strike in southern Iran. The statement follows earlier official confirmations from the Iranian military and army spokesman reported earlier today.
Earlier today, The Zioneer reported at 00:07 Jerusalem that the Iranian military announced at least eight personnel killed, mostly navy officers. At the same time, the Iranian army spokesman confirmed eight soldiers killed in strikes on Bandar Abbas and Bushehr. State TV reported six army soldiers and two IRGC members killed. Later, at 19:19, The Zioneer reported a claim of six soldiers killed in bombings in Bushehr and Bandar Abbas, though the source was not identified.
