Iranian opposition sources have published a photo of Hamid Avazzadeh, whom they claim was killed in the US strike on Larak Island in southern Iran. The identification was reported by security analyst Yair Goldblatt. The claim is unverified and no additional details about Avazzadeh or the strike are available.
Iranian opposition sources released a photo on Monday of a man they identify as Hamid Avazzadeh, claiming he was killed in the United States strike on Larak Island off Iran's southern coast. The identification was circulated by security analyst Yair Goldblatt.
The Zioneer reported Sunday evening that the US struck two IRGC missile launchers on Larak Island, which an American official said were on standby to fire missiles carrying naval mines toward the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency reported Sunday that the strike killed two people and wounded two. Later Sunday, Tasnim reported that a third wounded person had died, raising the toll to three, though the agency did not provide their identities.
The Zioneer has previously documented other casualties attributed to the American campaign in southern Iran, including the death of Iranian naval air defense officer Hamid Reza Dehghan in Jask on July 12, as well as opposition videos purporting to show damage at bases struck in the campaign.
The latest claim regarding Avazzadeh remains unverified. No details have been provided about his affiliation, rank, or role, and neither the US military nor Iranian state media have confirmed his death or identity.
