The Iranian state news agency Tasnim, citing security sources, denied reports of explosions in the city of Chabahar in southeastern Iran. The denial, issued as of Wednesday, July 15, follows a series of earlier reports of attacks in the area.
On Monday, July 13 at 00:53 Jerusalem, The Zioneer first reported unverified claims of US strikes on IRGC bases in Chabahar and other cities. Minutes later, at the same timestamp, local reports indicated ongoing airstrikes in Konarak, Chabahar, and Bandar Abbas. Also at 00:53 Jerusalem, security analyst Yair Goldblatt confirmed an attack in Chabahar, according to The Zioneer's reporting. The reports progressed from initial unverified claims to an analyst's confirmation, but no official Iranian acknowledgment was recorded at the time.
The Zioneer has previously reported on a series of unverified explosion reports across southern Iran in recent weeks. On July 9, Tasnim itself denied reports of explosions in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm, Sirik, and Jask. On July 13 at 01:22 Jerusalem, explosions were reported in southeast Sistan and Baluchestan province, according to Iranian media.
As of now, no independent verification of the explosions in Chabahar has been provided. The cause of the original reports remains unclear. Tasnim's denial contrasts with the earlier confirmation by analyst Goldblatt, and the situation remains unresolved.
