Iran's Health Minister reported Wednesday morning that more than 260 people were wounded in the latest series of attacks against Iran, according to a statement. The figure is a single-source report and has not been independently verified. The announcement follows a night of conflicting unverified reports about an attack on an Iranian army base in the southeast.
At 00:52 Jerusalem, Iranian opposition channels first reported explosions and flashes at the 388th Brigade base near Iranshahr. Minutes later, an unverified report claimed 10 soldiers killed and 15 wounded. By 00:52, opposition journalist Omid Dana attributed the attack to the United States, while Israeli journalist Zvi Yehezkeli, citing sources, reported dozens killed at the same base. The Health Minister's statement does not specify a location, attacker, or time frame, and the connection between the base incident and the new official toll remains unclear.
The Zioneer has previously reported on separate attacks: US strikes across five Iranian provinces in July that killed 14 and wounded 78, and Israeli strikes in June that injured 15. The current statement, however, appears to reference a different set of attacks, the details of which are still emerging.
What remains open: The Health Minister's figure is unverified and from a single source. The attacker is not identified. The scope and time frame of the 'latest attacks' are not defined.
