A single source has published footage showing a fire at the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Air Force base in Bandar Abbas, southern Iran, following reported American strikes. The extent of the fire and any damage or casualties have not been independently confirmed.
New footage published by a regional source at approximately 00:55 Jerusalem provides visual documentation of a fire raging at the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Air Force base in Bandar Abbas, southern Iran. The video shows heavy flames and smoke rising from the area, consistent with a significant blaze. The source attributes the fire to American strikes, though this remains unverified.
The first unverified reports of fire at the IRGC base emerged at 00:10 Jerusalem, alongside a cascade of reports from the same minute: initial strikes in Badr and Eskalan, then explosions in Bandar Abbas and Askalan rising from six to approximately 15, opposition footage of a strike on the port, and a CENTCOM statement that the strikes aimed to 'exact a heavy price' for Iranian attacks on merchant ships. By 00:10, reports also described IRGC fast boats ablaze at the port. The Zioneer published a dedicated bulletin on the base fire at 00:44 Jerusalem. At 00:48, a separate unverified report described fire columns at Shahid Haqqani port. The new footage now provides visual corroboration of the base fire, though the relationship between the two fires remains unclear.
The Zioneer has documented the sustained American campaign against Iranian military infrastructure. On June 10, satellite imagery showed a fire near Isa Air Base in Bahrain after an Iranian missile attack. More recently, opposition sources have released footage of US strikes in Fashvayeh and other areas. The current strikes on Bandar Abbas, as CENTCOM stated, are in response to Iranian attacks on civilian merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The authenticity of the new footage has not been independently verified. No official confirmation of the fire, its cause, or any casualties has been provided by Iranian or US authorities. The extent of the damage and the link between the base fire and the earlier reports of fire at Shahid Haqqani port remain unclear.
