Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported Saturday evening, citing Arabic-language sources, that police stations in ten Iranian cities — including Tehran, Shiraz, Tabriz, and Qeshm Island — have been evacuated over the past 24 hours. The full list of cities named includes Qeshm Island, Tehran, Shiraz, Nishapur, Sanandaj, Abadan, Tabriz, Kerman, Zahedan, and Zanjan.
This report is the latest in a series of unverified claims that have emerged since Saturday afternoon. Earlier Saturday, Iranian media outlets reported that police stations were being closed nationwide without prior notice. Shortly after, reports specified that Police Station No. 144 in Tehran's Jawadiah neighborhood had been evacuated and sealed. An Iranian opposition figure then claimed a massive, nationwide evacuation of police stations, followed by a report from military analyst Chananel Aviv citing opposition sources that police stations in Tehran were being evacuated.
The reports come amid a sustained period of strikes on Iranian strategic infrastructure that The Zioneer has been covering since June. Over the past two months, multiple waves of strikes have been reported on Qeshm Island, Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, and other sites across southern Iran, as documented in earlier bulletins. The evacuation of police stations could indicate preparations for further strikes or internal security measures, though no official confirmation is available.
All reports remain unverified, and no Iranian official confirmation has been published. The reason for the evacuations has not been specified.
