Overnight reports indicate a series of explosions and strikes across multiple locations in Iran, including Jask (Hormozgan), Bushehr, Abhar (Zanjan), and southern and western Tehran. The deputy governor of Khuzestan Province claimed that a US strike targeted the Shalamcheh border crossing, killing two people and targeting Iran's border police. The reports are unverified; no official confirmation from Iranian or US authorities has been issued.
Overnight, new explosions were reported across multiple locations in Iran — Bushehr, Jask, Abhar in Zanjan, and southern and western Tehran — adding to the ongoing US campaign that The Zioneer has tracked since early June. The reports come hours after the Shalamcheh border crossing strike, which unfolded in a rapid sequence of claims and confirmations through the night.
At 03:13 Jerusalem, Iraqi media first reported a strike on the Shalamcheh crossing with several killed. Within the same hour, Iranian media cited by Israeli outlets specified two dead. Security analyst Chananel Aviv then released footage and assessed the death toll was likely much higher. An Iranian report followed, stating two IRGC personnel killed and 11 wounded. Finally, Khuzestan Deputy Governor Valiallah Hayati confirmed the US strike killed two and said passenger traffic at the crossing continues. The thread thus moved from unverified Iraqi reports to an on-record Iranian official confirmation.
As The Zioneer reported on June 10–11 and July 9, previous nights saw explosions in Bushehr, Jask, Konarak, and south of Tehran. The new locations — Abhar and Tehran itself — suggest a geographical expansion of the campaign beyond the southern coast and border areas.
What remains open: The overnight explosions in Bushehr, Jask, Abhar, and Tehran are unverified by any official source. The death toll at Shalamcheh is disputed — the deputy governor says two, but Aviv assesses it is significantly higher. No US official has commented on any of the strikes.
