Iranian sources, cited by Israeli media, report that a train station in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas was also attacked, leaving two people wounded. The identity of the attackers has not been specified.
Late Thursday evening, Iranian sources cited by Israeli media outlet ynet reported that a train station in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas was attacked, leaving two people wounded. The report comes hours after the initial wave of unverified claims early Thursday morning about US strikes on multiple targets in the city, including a railway junction, a bridge, a communications tower, and railway tracks. The earlier reports did not mention casualties, whereas the new account attributes the attack to unspecified Iranian sources and does not identify the responsible party.
According to the story thread published by The Zioneer, a series of reports emerged around 03:50 Jerusalem on Thursday, all citing Iranian sources or unverified footage. The earliest claims described US strikes on a port city and a railway junction, followed by reports of attacks on a bridge, communications tower, and railway tracks. Version 7, citing ynet, reported that several sites were hit by American missiles but noted no casualties. The new report, published at 23:56 Jerusalem, adds the specific location of a train station and the first confirmed casualties of the night.
As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, Bandar Abbas has been a focal point of a broader pattern of reported US strikes on Iranian infrastructure, including attacks on airports, power plants, and refineries in southern Iran. The current wave of attacks appears to target transportation and communication nodes, consistent with earlier reports.
What remains unclear is the identity of the attackers—the US has not officially commented—and the extent of damage to the train station. The reports remain unverified by official Iranian sources, and no independent confirmation of casualties has been provided.
