A map circulating on social media lists over 20 locations in Iran where US strikes reportedly occurred today, including Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, Chabahar, and Kermanshah. The map's origin is unverified, but it aligns with earlier reports of ongoing US military operations against Iranian targets.
Tonight, an unverified map circulating on social media claims to document the full scope of US strikes on Iran, listing over 20 cities and towns including Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, Chabahar, and Kermanshah. The map does not specify the timing of the strikes or the nature of the targets, and its source remains unclear. The Zioneer has been tracking the US campaign and previously published a map on July 9 listing 24 confirmed impact locations, as well as an earlier map with 15 confirmed locations. The new social media map, if accurate, would indicate a similar scale of operations, though it includes some locations not previously reported, such as Kermanshah.
On Thursday, July 9, The Zioneer published an updated map listing 24 confirmed impact locations, including Ahvaz, Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, and Qeshm Island, with two additional locations listed as unconfirmed. Earlier the same day, a map had listed 15 confirmed and 3 unconfirmed impact locations. The reporting began with unverified claims from security analyst Yair Goldblatt, who reported on July 9 that US strikes hit oil refining facilities in Asaluyeh, and later reported new targets in southern Iran and casualties, as well as Iranian retaliatory fire. On July 12, the governor of Bushehr province confirmed that four areas in the province were struck overnight. The Zioneer also reported on background strikes on IRGC bases in Khandab, Arak, Chabahar, and Bandar Abbas, as well as ongoing strikes on Qeshm Island, Sirik, and Chabahar.
The US campaign against Iranian targets, announced by the US Army on July 12, has been ongoing for several days, with strikes hitting IRGC bases and infrastructure. As The Zioneer reported on July 12, the Bushehr governor confirmed four areas struck in that province. The social media map, however, remains unattributed and its relationship to official operations is unclear.
The claims on the social media map remain unverified by independent sources. No official confirmation from the US military or Iranian authorities has been released regarding the map's contents. The extent of damage and casualties from the strikes listed on the map is not yet known.
