Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported on X that Ministry of Defense targets were struck in the city of Kermanshah, western Iran, overnight, in addition to attacks in southern Iran. No details on the specific targets, method of attack, or casualties are yet available.
Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported early Thursday that Ministry of Defense targets were struck in the city of Kermanshah, western Iran, overnight, adding specificity to earlier unverified reports of strikes in the same city. The report, posted on X, came as part of a wave of reported attacks across Iran that began Wednesday evening and continued into the early hours of Thursday.
The Zioneer tracked a series of reports from Wednesday midday onward. Initial unverified reports at 12:38 Jerusalem described explosions in four cities: Sirik, Bushehr, Chabahar, and Tabriz. Subsequent reports focused on Bushehr, with two explosions, then additional blasts, and reports of attacks in Bushehr and Mahshahr. The Bushehr mayor confirmed US attacks in the city minutes before, according to Goldblatt's citation of the mayor's statement. A report then claimed the Bushehr Airbase was struck. Later, reports indicated strikes in Kermanshah, including a border crossing and command centers. The new report specifies that the Kermanshah targets were Ministry of Defense facilities. Corroboration evolved from unverified social media claims to an on-record confirmation by the Bushehr mayor.
The Zioneer reported Wednesday that US fighter jets struck 15 targets in southwest Iran, hitting IRGC bases and missile sites, with officials confirming the strikes (published 16:15 Jerusalem). Goldblatt has reported on attacks in multiple locations this week, including Chabahar, Bandar Lengeh, and Ahvaz. The current strikes appear to be part of a broader campaign of attacks across Iran.
The specific targets in Kermanshah, the method of attack, and any casualties remain unconfirmed. No official Iranian statement has been published, and the report relies on a single analyst's citation.
