01 · THE DISPATCH

A newly circulated video, shared by security analyst Hananel Aviv on Telegram at 01:28 Jerusalem, appears to capture the moment of an American strike on Ahvaz, southwestern Iran. The footage provides visual documentation of the attack, which comes after a series of explosions reported across the city and surrounding Khuzestan province overnight.

The sequence of events began at 00:48 Jerusalem, when The Zioneer reported unverified explosions in the port city of Chabahar, as US fighter jets were seen over Iraq. At 01:04, initial reports of explosion sounds in Ahvaz emerged, followed minutes later by reports of additional blasts and then massive explosions attributed to a strike on an underground missile site using heavy bombs. By 01:19, The Zioneer reported that the massive explosions were specifically linked to the underground missile site. At 01:21, Iranian media confirmed an attack on Ahvaz Airport, marking a shift from unverified claims to official acknowledgment. The new video adds visual confirmation of the strike, though the specific target and damage remain unverified.

The overnight strikes are part of a broader campaign. As The Zioneer has reported, explosions were heard in Ahvaz in previous weeks (Jun 10, Jul 8, Jerusalem), and a second wave of US strikes on southern Iran was reported on Jun 11. The current wave appears to target Iranian military infrastructure.

The cause of the explosions, the extent of damage, and any casualties remain unconfirmed. The video's authenticity has not been independently verified. The source of the footage is a single source.
