Iranian sources report new attack on Bushehr nuclear reactor

Iranian sources claim that the Bushehr nuclear reactor has been attacked again, following earlier reports of direct hits on the site. The claim is unverified and from a single source.

Earlier tonight, at 23:52 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported on claims that strikes in Bushehr had directly hit the nuclear reactor, not just the surrounding area. Minutes later, at 23:53, anonymous Iranian sources reported a new attack on the same reactor, using the word 'again' (שוב). The new report does not specify the nature or timing of the assault, nor whether it is a separate incident or a clarification of the earlier report. No independent confirmation has been obtained from official Iranian sources, satellite imagery, or other corroborating channels. The earlier claim of a direct hit also remains unverified. The situation continues to develop, and the reliability of the sources is unknown.
