Iranian media outlets claim the United States is attacking the port city of Bandar Abbas and Sirik Island on the Strait of Hormuz, with 10 explosions reported in the two areas. Additional explosions were reported in Bushehr, home to a nuclear facility. The reports are unverified and Iranian state media has not commented.
Iranian media are reporting that US strikes have expanded to include Sirik Island and the city of Bushehr, home to a nuclear facility, late Sunday night — broadening the scope of the alleged attacks beyond the earlier reports centered on Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Island. The new reports describe 10 explosions in the Bandar Abbas and Sirik areas, and additional blasts in Bushehr, with strikes described as ongoing.
At 21:04 Jerusalem on Sunday, The Zioneer's thread recorded a series of unverified reports within a single minute: first, a regional security source reported explosions in Bandar Abbas; then a second wave of explosions in the same city; then renewed strikes on Qeshm Island and Bandar Abbas; and finally, that the 9th Tactical Airbase of the Iranian Air Force in Bandar Abbas had been struck multiple times. The reports have remained unverified throughout, with no official confirmation from the US or Iranian governments.
The Zioneer has previously reported on US strikes in southern Iran. On July 9, explosions were reported in Bushehr, Shiraz, and Bandar Abbas. On June 11, a US official confirmed ongoing strikes to Fox News, and there were reports of exchanges of fire in the Strait of Hormuz and a second explosion near Sirik port. On June 14, Iranian state-aligned media accused the US of war crimes in the Sirik area, claiming strikes hit reservoirs supplying drinking water to 10 villages — a claim that was not independently verified.
All reports of the current strikes remain unverified and based on Iranian media claims. Iranian state media has not commented, and the US has not issued a confirmation. No details on casualties, damage, or the specific targets are available.
