A security observer, Yair Goldblatt, notes on Telegram that the current explosion sites in southern Iran are identical to the targets struck in US attacks last night. The reports are unverified, and Iranian state media has not commented on the claims.
Security observer Yair Goldblatt reported on Telegram at approximately 00:50 Jerusalem time that the explosion sites currently being reported in southern Iran match exactly the locations struck by the United States in its attacks overnight. The claim has not been independently verified, and Iranian state media has not commented.
This observation follows a rapid succession of reported blasts in the Bandar Abbas area. Between 01:28 and 01:28 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published seven updates tracking fresh explosions, additional blasts, and renewed activity near the port city's airport and military sites. Earlier in the thread, at 01:11 Jerusalem, initial reports attributed the explosions to air defense activity and strikes on radar arrays and command centers. A second wave of US strikes was reported at 02:18 Jerusalem. The Zioneer also reported at 14:33 Jerusalem that the IRGC was investigating the source of a separate set of blasts, and at 15:41 Jerusalem, a second explosion near Sirik port was noted.
Goldblatt's latest observation ties the current explosion reports to the specific targets hit in the earlier US strikes, as The Zioneer reported in its coverage of the second wave and broader campaign against air defenses and command infrastructure across southern Iran.
It remains unverified whether the new blasts are the result of renewed US strikes, Iranian defensive activity, or other causes. No group has claimed responsibility, and the cause and origin of the latest explosions have not been independently confirmed.
