Security and Middle East analyst Yair Goldblatt reported early Tuesday of a new wave of widespread attacks on Kish Island, southern Iran, citing unverified reports. The report comes about 40 minutes after The Zioneer published footage analysis by analyst Hananel Aviv showing targets on the seashore of Qeshm Island, a nearby island.
The Zioneer has been tracking a series of reported strikes across southern Iran since early Monday. At 01:51 Jerusalem, initial reports indicated at least 15 airstrikes in the Bandar Abbas area, with additional strikes on Qeshm Island, Sirik, and Jask. Within the same hour, reports expanded to include all cities in Khuzestan province, a list of 14 locations across Iran, and specific cities named by Goldblatt as reportedly struck by the US, including Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, and Ahvaz. A subsequent report noted an airbase housing F-5E fighter jets was hit. The source quality has remained consistent: all reports are unverified, with no official confirmation from Iranian state media or the US.
As The Zioneer reported on Sunday, Goldblatt had previously reported attacks on Kish Island and Bandar Abbas, and the US Army announced it was launching attacks on Iran. Earlier in the week, The Zioneer reported on strikes in Bushehr and other locations, with analysts assessing the targets as air defense systems, radar arrays, and command-and-control units.
The extent of the attacks and any casualties remain unconfirmed. The attacker has not been identified, and Iranian state media has not commented on the latest reports.
