A new satellite imagery analysis indicates the United States struck a building directly adjacent to the Bushehr nuclear reactor in Iran last week, according to a report circulating Sunday evening. The report follows an earlier satellite imagery assessment that placed the strike in the vicinity of the plant.
Satellite imagery analysis published Sunday evening indicates that the US strike last week struck a building directly adjacent to the Bushehr nuclear reactor in Iran, rather than merely in the vicinity. The report, based on satellite images, provides a more precise location than an earlier assessment 25 minutes prior that placed the strike near the plant.
The earlier assessment, reported by The Zioneer at 20:41, cited satellite imagery indicating a strike on a building near the Bushehr nuclear power plant on July 8-9. That report did not specify adjacency. Prior unverified reports from July 9 also claimed a US strike in the Bushehr area, but without satellite confirmation.
The new report remains single-sourced and unverified by independent analysts or official sources. No confirmation from US or Iranian authorities has been issued.
