Channel 12 News reports, citing Iranian sources, that explosions are being heard in the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas. The cause, casualties, and damage are not yet known. The report comes minutes after an earlier report of four explosions in the same city.
Shortly after 03:50 Jerusalem, Channel 12 News reported additional explosions in the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas, citing Iranian sources. The report came minutes after an initial incident of four explosions, marking a second wave of blasts in the same area within a short span. The cause, casualties, and damage remain unknown.
The initial reports at 03:50 Jerusalem began with a general explosion alert, followed within the same minute by an update from security analyst Yair Goldblatt, who cited unverified local sources to report approximately four explosions. Both were published by The Zioneer at that time. The new report, from Channel 12, adds a second source—Iranian channels—but still lacks official confirmation.
Over recent weeks, The Zioneer has documented multiple unverified explosion reports across southern Iran, including in Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, Shiraz, and Chabahar, as reported on Jun 22, Jun 24, Jul 9, and Jul 13. These events have occurred against a backdrop of US strikes on Iranian territory, as The Zioneer has previously noted.
The cause of tonight's blasts, any casualties, and damage remain unconfirmed. No Iranian official has commented on the reports. The information is still based on a single unverified source for each event.
