Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported on X that the target of the strike in Bushehr, Iran, was the city's airport, citing reports. The claim follows earlier reports of a photo attributed to a military target in the area. The report has not been independently verified.
At 02:45 Jerusalem, security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported on X that, per sources, the target of the strike in Bushehr, Iran, was the city's airport. The claim follows a series of reports over the past 48 hours, beginning with explosions in the area on Sunday and a photo attributed to a military target circulating on Telegram early Tuesday.
On Sunday, Jul 12, at 02:22 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported unverified explosions in Asalouyeh and Bushehr. Within minutes, reports expanded to multiple cities including the Bushehr nuclear site, and Iranian state media Press TV confirmed explosions in Bushehr and Asluyeh. Subsequent reports indicated missile launches from the Persian Gulf and specifically identified airfields as targets. At 00:23 Tuesday, a photo attributed to a military target in Bushehr was reported via security analyst Hananel Aviv. The source quality evolved from unverified local reports to state media confirmation, and now to a specific analyst citing sources.
The new report aligns with a pattern of reported attacks on airports in southern Iran. As The Zioneer reported on Jul 8, Yair Goldblatt stated that Bandar Abbas International Airport was attacked and shut down. On Jul 10, IRNA cited an official saying a military site on the outskirts of Bushehr was hit by a US-Israeli missile. The continuity of analyst reports from Goldblatt across multiple locations adds context to the latest claim.
The report has not been independently verified. The authenticity of the photo circulating earlier remains unclear, and no official Iranian confirmation has been issued. The extent of damage and any casualties are unknown.
