Unverified reports indicate renewed American airstrikes in the Iranian cities of Ahvaz and Bandar Abbas, according to a single source. The reports follow a sustained campaign of US strikes on Iranian military infrastructure. The extent of the strikes and any casualties remain unconfirmed.
A single source reported renewed American airstrikes in the Iranian cities of Ahvaz and Bandar Abbas at 22:40 Jerusalem time, citing unspecified local reports. The report adds Bandar Abbas to the locations hit and describes the strikes as ongoing, following an earlier unverified report of US strikes in Ahvaz and on Qeshm Island at 22:07.
The first reports of explosions in Iran's Khuzestan province emerged at 19:26 Jerusalem, with a subsequent report specifying blasts in the city of Ahvaz. Minutes later, at 19:26, a third report added explosions on Qeshm Island. All three reports were attributed to a single unverified source. At 22:07, a further report explicitly attributed the explosions to US airstrikes in Ahvaz and Qeshm Island, still from a single source. The source quality has not evolved; all reports remain unverified by official channels.
The Zioneer has documented a sustained campaign of US strikes on Iranian military infrastructure in recent weeks, including reports of power outages in Bandar Abbas on July 8, a third consecutive night of strikes on July 9, and a US official confirming ongoing strikes on June 11. These reports, as The Zioneer reported, have consistently described strikes on air defenses and command centers across southern Iran.
The latest reports remain unconfirmed by Iranian or US officials. No information on casualties, damage, or the extent of the strikes is available at this stage.
