Iranian sources report that Hamid Reza Dehghan, an Iranian national, was killed in last night's American strikes. The identification follows earlier reports of a fatality in the strikes.
A single Iranian-language channel has identified the victim of overnight US strikes on the port city of Jask as Hamid Reza Dehghan, described as an Iranian national. The report adds a name to earlier reports of a fatality, though the identification remains unverified and comes from a single source.
The Zioneer first reported at 12:01 Jerusalem that an Iranian naval defense officer was killed in a strike in southeastern Iran. By the same time, reports identified the officer as Hamid Reza Dehghan, a naval air defense officer, and later specified the location as Jask in Hormozgan Province. Iranian media outlets attributed the strike to the “American-Zionist enemy.” The thread also included a separate report of an Iranian army officer killed in the strikes, though it is unclear whether this refers to the same incident.
The Zioneer has previously reported on a series of US strikes on Iranian targets, including the killing of an IRGC special naval fighter (Shahab Amidi Mahnavi) and a Basij fighter in Mahshahr, as well as a firefighter killed in a strike on Iranshahr airport. These incidents are part of an escalating regional kinetic conflict.
The report of Dehghan’s death comes from a single source, and no official Iranian or US confirmation has been published. The circumstances of the strike and the exact number of casualties remain unclear.
