At 14:54 Jerusalem, journalist Asaf Rosenzweig reports that Iranian media are circulating unverified footage showing the impact of a reported American airstrike on the Bushehr coastline. The clip follows earlier video that emerged at 14:37 Jerusalem, as The Zioneer reported at 14:49. The visual evidence adds to documentation of US strikes on Iran's southern coast, which have targeted IRGC naval and coastal defense assets over the past 24 hours.
The Zioneer's coverage of the Bushehr strikes began at 23:25 Jerusalem on Wednesday, July 8, with initial reports of a fire in Bushehr and a renewed attack, followed by unverified footage of smoke and then of the strike impact. By 23:25, Iranian media were publishing images of strikes on IRGC speedboats at the Asaluyeh pier, according to Rosenzweig. The reports evolved from a single unconfirmed source to multiple news outlets circulating visual evidence, though all remain unverified.
The strikes are part of a broader US campaign against IRGC maritime assets, as The Zioneer reported at 22:46 Jerusalem on Wednesday, citing CENTCOM operations. The Pentagon later released video of over 90 targets struck in Iran overnight Wednesday–Thursday, including coastal defense systems and naval capabilities, as reported at 12:20 Jerusalem on Thursday.
The footage remains unverified, and the specific target, timing, and extent of damage of the Bushehr coast strike have not been independently confirmed. The source of the footage is Iranian media, which may be subject to propaganda.
