According to unverified reports, a base of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was bombed in southern Ahvaz, northeast of Kuwait, overnight Thursday. No details on casualties, damage, or the responsible party are yet available.
An unverified report early Thursday morning claims that an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base was bombed in southern Ahvaz, northeast of Kuwait. The report, which emerged overnight, adds to the ongoing US airstrike campaign against Iranian military targets that has now entered its 12th consecutive night. No details on casualties, damage, or the responsible party are yet available.
The Zioneer reported on Wednesday, Jul 22, at 02:33 Jerusalem that US strikes continued to focus on southern Iran, targeting Ahvaz, Bushehr, Kish Island, and Bandar Abbas. Earlier reports from the same night indicated that the governor of Bushehr claimed a power plant near the nuclear facility was hit, and unverified explosions were reported in Tabriz and Zanjan. The campaign, which began over 11 nights ago, has targeted IRGC command centers, naval capabilities, drone warehouses, and logistics infrastructure, according to CENTCOM statements.
The US military has described the operation as aimed at degrading Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, noting that Iran has attacked over 30 commercial vessels in the past three months. The Zioneer has previously reported on strikes against IRGC facilities across Iran, including in Shiraz, Zahedan, and Bushehr, as well as an explosion at the Khatam al-Anbia base in northern Tehran on Jul 16.
The latest report from Ahvaz remains unverified. No official confirmation has been issued by Iranian authorities or the US military. The source and method of the strike are unknown, and it is unclear whether the reported bombing is part of the ongoing US campaign or a separate incident.
