Unverified reports early Tuesday indicate a renewed wave of US strikes targeting the airbase in Bushehr, southern Iran. The reports come after a series of explosions in the city since 02:37 Jerusalem, with multiple waves reported by local sources and news agencies throughout the early morning hours.
The first reports of explosions in Bushehr emerged at 02:37 Jerusalem from security analyst Hananel Aviv. Minutes later, two additional explosions were reported, followed by another wave reported by Israeli news outlet ynet, then fresh explosions, and finally another wave reported by Iran's Mehr news agency — all within the same hour. Prior to tonight, as The Zioneer reported on July 8 and 9, strikes hit military bases in Dashti County and near Choghadak, and smoke was reported rising from Bushehr following a strike on an IRGC pier at Asluya. A third consecutive night of strikes was reported on July 9, with explosions in Bushehr and Konarak. US officials have confirmed ongoing operations against Iranian military infrastructure.
The strikes are part of a sustained US campaign, as The Zioneer has reported. On July 8, the deputy governor of Bushehr province confirmed that two military bases were hit by rocket barrages. On July 9, US strikes targeted Asaluyeh in Bushehr province. A US official confirmed to Fox News that strikes are ongoing.
The latest report remains unverified and comes from a single source. No official confirmation from US or Iranian authorities has been issued, and no details on casualties or damage are available.
