Reports from N12 indicate power outages in the strategic port city of Bandar Abbas, while Kan military correspondent Asaf Rosencweig has released additional footage of the US strikes on Iran. The footage is unverified, and the extent of the outages is not yet clear.
Israeli media outlets now report power outages in the strategic port city of Bandar Abbas and provide new footage of the US strikes on Iran. N12's Keren Be'zalel reported the outages, and Kan military correspondent Asaf Rosencweig released footage he says shows the aftermath. This updates the thread of reports from earlier tonight, when unverified claims of power outages and explosions in Bandar Abbas first emerged.
The first reports of activity in the area came at 22:48 Jerusalem, when The Zioneer reported activation of IRGC air defense systems on Sirik Island. Within the same minute, reports emerged of an attack on the IRGC naval base in Sirik, followed by explosions in Bandar Abbas and then power outages. The thread shows a rapid escalation: from a single unverified report to multiple channels, and now Israeli media picking up the story. The reports remain unverified.
The Zioneer has previously reported on US strikes on Iranian targets, including a report at 23:47 Jerusalem of intensified strikes on Bushehr with fires and power outages. Analyst Hananel Aviv assessed earlier that the Bandar Abbas incident appeared to be activation of defense systems rather than airstrikes, as reported by The Zioneer at 23:00.
The extent of the power outages in Bandar Abbas, any damage, and the cause of the explosions remain unclear. The new footage has not been independently verified. It is not yet known whether this is a new wave of strikes or a continuation of earlier activity.
