01 · THE DISPATCH

Unverified reports from Iranian sources, cited by security analyst Yair Goldblatt, indicate that the strategic Omidiyeh Air Base (TAB 5) in Khuzestan Province, southern Iran, was attacked. The base is a major facility for both Iran's regular air force and the IRGC, featuring long runways, fortified underground hangars, and air defense systems.

This report follows a series of unverified claims of attacks on Iranian military sites overnight. As The Zioneer reported at 01:45 Jerusalem, an attack was reported on the 92nd Armored Division base in Ahvaz, also in Khuzestan. At 02:41, a report emerged of an attack on an IRGC air force base in Aghajari, in the same province. The Omidiyeh base is located in the same region, suggesting a possible pattern of strikes targeting military infrastructure in southwestern Iran.

All reports remain unverified and originate from single sources. No official confirmation from Iranian authorities or any other party has been issued. The extent of damage, casualties, and the identity of the attacker are unknown.
