According to unverified reports, US military strikes have targeted the Iranian island of Abu Musa in the Persian Gulf. A loud explosion was reported in Iran following the American attacks, and footage describes the start of strikes near the port city of Chabahar. The reports are unverified; Iranian state media has not commented.
At 23:56 Jerusalem, new reports and footage indicate that US strikes have targeted the Iranian island of Abu Musa in the Persian Gulf and the vicinity of the port city of Chabahar in Sistan and Baluchestan province. The reports follow the initial detection of explosions on Abu Musa at 23:53 Jerusalem, as reported by analyst Hananel Aviv on Telegram. The current reports include footage of the beginning of strikes near Chabahar, adding to the picture of a widening US campaign.
The initial report at 23:53 Jerusalem, published by The Zioneer, cited analyst Hananel Aviv reporting explosions on Abu Musa, a strategic island not previously targeted in the campaign. That report was unverified and lacked details on cause or damage. By 23:56, additional reports emerged of strikes on Abu Musa and near Chabahar, with footage circulating online. The Zioneer had previously reported on a series of US strikes across southern Iran earlier tonight, including at Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, and Kish Island.
The Zioneer has been tracking the US strike campaign on Iran since earlier tonight. At 23:41 Jerusalem, security analyst Yair Goldblatt posted footage purporting to show strikes on Chabahar. At 23:47, reports emerged of intensified strikes on Bushehr with widespread fires and power outages. On June 11, a US official confirmed to Fox News that strikes are ongoing, as The Zioneer reported. The campaign has included strikes on air defenses, command centers, and other military infrastructure across southern Iran, based on reports from various sources.
All reports remain unverified. Iranian state media has not commented. The extent of damage, casualties, and specific targets on Abu Musa and near Chabahar are not yet known. The Zioneer continues to monitor the situation.
