At 02:37 Jerusalem on Monday, security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported widespread attacks on Kish Island and southern Iran, citing unverified reports. The report follows his earlier post at 01:51 Jerusalem listing cities in southern Iran reportedly struck by the US, including Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, and Ahvaz, as part of a series of unverified claims of strikes across the region.
The thread of reports began at 01:51 Jerusalem with initial claims of US airstrikes in Khuzestan and Hormozgan provinces, including at least 15 strikes in the Bandar Abbas area. Successive reports at the same time detailed attacks on an airbase housing F-5E jets, all cities in Khuzestan, and a list of 14 locations across Iran. Goldblatt earlier listed specific cities at 01:51. All reports remain unverified, with no official confirmation from Iranian state media or US sources.
The Zioneer has reported on similar unverified claims from Goldblatt and other sources in recent weeks, including reports of strikes on Kish Island and Bandar Abbas on Sunday July 12, and earlier incidents in Bandar Lengeh and Bushehr on July 9. These reports have consistently lacked independent verification.
The extent of the attacks on Kish Island, any casualties, and the source of the strikes remain unconfirmed.
