01 · THE DISPATCH

Israeli journalist Sapir Lipkin published footage on Wednesday night that he says shows the aftermath of the US strikes in Bushehr, Iran. The unverified video appears to document damage from the strikes targeting IRGC bases and drone positions in the southern city. The publication comes after a series of reports and confirmations that The Zioneer tracked throughout the evening.

Earlier tonight, at 23:25 Jerusalem on Wednesday, The Zioneer reported a sequence of developments: initial unverified reports of broader strikes (version 1), strikes near the Bushehr nuclear plant (version 2), a power plant being hit (version 3), CENTCOM confirming a second day of strikes on Bushehr and Kharg Island (version 4), footage showing fires and power outages (version 5), an Iranian military source threatening a 'massive' attack (version 6), additional footage from security analyst Yair Goldblatt (version 7), reports of intensified strikes causing widespread fires (version 8), and finally a senior American official confirming that the US struck IRGC bases and drone positions in Bushehr (version 9). The source quality evolved from unverified social media posts to official US confirmation.

As The Zioneer previously reported, Iranian opposition sources have released footage of US strikes in other areas, such as Fashvayeh in Tehran province, as part of the broader Operation Epic Fury campaign. The Bushehr strikes are part of a sustained US air operation against Iranian military infrastructure, with the second night of expanded operations targeting strategic hubs.

The footage from Sapir Lipkin remains unverified; its authenticity and exact location have not been independently confirmed. The extent of damage and any casualties in Bushehr also remain unclear.
