The Iranian news agency Mehr has confirmed that explosions are now being heard in Bushehr, southern Iran, according to security analyst Yair Goldblatt. The cause and any damage or casualties have not yet been reported. The report follows a series of blasts across southern Iran earlier today, as The Zioneer reported at 13:30 and 14:17 Jerusalem.
The Iranian news agency Mehr has confirmed that explosions are being heard in Bushehr, southern Iran, security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported on X at 14:38 Jerusalem. The cause of the blasts and any damage or casualties have not yet been reported.
This confirmation follows a day of escalating reports around Bushehr. At 13:30 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported a series of explosions across southern Iran. By 14:17 Jerusalem, explosions were reported in Shadegan, southwestern Iran. The thread now shows that earlier today, at 22:44 Jerusalem on Wednesday, a sequence of reports emerged: unverified claims of a US strike near the Bushehr nuclear plant, followed by Iranian state media reports that a US projectile struck the plant's perimeter, and then an official confirmation from the Bushehr deputy governor that US strikes hit the area. The US military was reported to have launched Tomahawk cruise missiles targeting Bushehr.
As The Zioneer reported on Wednesday, the Bushehr deputy governor described the attack as 'a continuation of the US violation of the ceasefire agreement.' The reports have evolved from unverified claims to on-record statements from Iranian officials, though the US has not commented. The IRGC has previously said it is investigating the source of similar blasts in the region.
It remains unclear whether the explosions confirmed by Mehr at 14:38 are a new incident or a continuation of the earlier reported strikes. No group has claimed responsibility, and the reports remain unverified by independent sources.
