Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) reports additional strikes in the port cities of Bandar Abbas and Chabahar in southern Iran, citing unverified reports. The cause, extent of damage, and casualties are not yet known.
New unverified reports from N12 journalist Asaf Rozentzweig indicate additional strikes in the strategic port cities of Bandar Abbas and Chabahar in southern Iran, approximately two hours after The Zioneer’s initial coverage of a confirmed US operation in the same region. The earlier reports, published at 20:01 Jerusalem on Tuesday, detailed a US strike on two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) bases in Bandar Abbas, which President Donald Trump confirmed while warning of a harsher response to any Iranian retaliation. Concurrently, reports of ongoing attacks on Kish Island and Bandar Abbas were also covered.
At 20:01 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported the US strikes on IRGC bases in Bandar Abbas, with Trump’s confirmation, and separate reports of continued attacks on Kish Island and Bandar Abbas, attributed to security analyst Yair Goldberg. These developments followed a months-long pattern of unverified strike claims in southern Iran, which The Zioneer has documented since June 2026, including reports of explosions in Bandar Abbas, Chabahar, and other coastal cities.
As The Zioneer previously reported, multiple unverified reports of strikes in southern Iran have surfaced since June, often centered on Bandar Abbas and other strategic ports. The current reports add to that pattern, though none of the earlier claims were independently confirmed.
The cause of the latest reported strikes, the extent of damage, and any casualties remain unknown. No official confirmation or denial has been issued by Iranian authorities. The Zioneer is monitoring the situation and will provide updates as reliable information becomes available.
