According to Iran's Tasnim news agency, the train station in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas was attacked. No details on the extent of damage, casualties, or the identity of the attackers are yet available.
Tasnim News Agency, an Iranian state-affiliated outlet, confirmed early Friday that the train station in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas was attacked. The confirmation comes roughly 20 hours after a series of rapid, unverified reports overnight Thursday described a wave of strikes on infrastructure in the area, including a separate report that the same train station had been hit and two people wounded. Tasnim's report did not provide details on the extent of damage, casualties, or the identity of the attackers.
The thread of reports began at 03:50 Jerusalem time Thursday, when unverified accounts described explosions in Bandar Abbas, followed by footage purportedly showing strikes. Within minutes, reports emerged of a communications tower hit, railway tracks attacked, a bridge targeted, and a railway junction struck. By 03:50, Iranian sources cited by Israeli media reported that the train station had been attacked and two people were wounded. The Tasnim confirmation now adds an official Iranian source to the claim, though it remains the only one of the overnight incidents to receive such direct corroboration from an Iranian state agency.
The Zioneer has reported on a series of attacks on infrastructure across southern Iran in recent weeks, including strikes on Bandar Abbas airport, a radio station, and railway lines. Those reports were based on unverified Iranian sources and regional monitoring channels.
It remains unclear who carried out the attack on the train station, and whether the two wounded reported earlier are confirmed. No official Iranian or US statement has been issued regarding the overnight strikes.
