At 11:09 Jerusalem today (Wednesday, July 8), a new unverified report claims one person was killed and two others wounded in Iran's southwestern Khuzestan province as a result of ongoing US strikes. The report is the first in the current wave to specify a province and casualty numbers, coming hours after the earliest reports of general casualties in Iran at 00:07 Jerusalem and a follow-up unconfirmed claim at 02:05 Jerusalem. The source remains unattributed and the claim unverified.
The first reports of casualties emerged at 00:07 Jerusalem, stating only that there were casualties without details. A similar report followed at 02:05 Jerusalem. Earlier in the campaign, on June 11, Iranian media reported three injured in the latest US strikes (11:43 Jerusalem) and two civilians wounded near Minab (02:38 Jerusalem). On June 10, 16:10 Jerusalem, Iranian channels claimed a US drone was shot down over Khuzestan. All these reports remain single-sourced and unverified, with no independent confirmation.
As The Zioneer reported, the US air campaign began on June 10, targeting military infrastructure across multiple provinces. The strikes expanded to widespread airstrikes across all of Iran by June 11. Southern coastal provinces, including Khuzestan, have been repeatedly hit. The earlier claim of a drone downed over Khuzestan (June 10) was also unattributed.
No independent confirmation of the current report is available. The location and identity of the casualties remain unknown. The report provides no source or attribution. Earlier claims of casualties in Iran also remain unconfirmed. The situation remains fluid.
