Reports in Iran indicate widespread fires in the city of Shiraz, following aerial attacks, according to Iranian sources. Details on the extent of the fires, casualties, or the identity of the attackers have not yet been confirmed.
Tonight (Tue Jul 21, 21:11 Jerusalem), unverified Iranian reports via local Telegram channels describe widespread fires in the city of Shiraz following aerial attacks. This is the latest in a series of unconfirmed reports of aerial activity in the city over recent weeks, building on a flurry of reports on Monday, July 20.
On Monday, July 20, at 16:54 Jerusalem, multiple reports emerged: initial reports of explosions in Shiraz amid launches toward the Persian Gulf; then a specific report of an explosion at an electronic industries factory; followed by Iran's state-affiliated Fars News Agency reporting an explosion heard, cited by Israeli journalist Sapir Lipkin (N12); and finally Israeli media (N12) reporting additional attacks. All reports remain unconfirmed, and the source of the attacks has not been identified. Earlier reports in July (Jul 9, 15, 17) also described explosions and airstrikes in Shiraz, with some reports attributing them to US or Israeli strikes, but without official confirmation.
As The Zioneer has reported, a pattern of unverified claims of aerial activity in Shiraz has persisted since at least June, including reports of Israeli strikes on Shiraz airport on June 8 and intense air activity over Karaj and west Tehran on June 28. Iran released footage appearing to show a strike on July 15, but independent verification remains lacking.
The extent of the fires, any casualties, and the identity of the attackers remain unconfirmed. The reports are based on unverified local Telegram channels, and no official Iranian or international sources have commented.
