The deputy governor for security in Iran's Bushehr province announced that early this morning, a military base in Dashti County and another near Choghadak were hit by enemy rocket barrages. The announcement did not specify the source of the attack or casualties. The reported strikes follow earlier unverified reports of strikes on IRGC targets in the Bushehr area.
The deputy governor for security in Bushehr province confirmed Wednesday morning that two military bases in the province were struck by enemy rocket barrages — one in Dashti County and another near the town of Choghadak. The announcement, which did not name the attacker or report casualties, marks the first official acknowledgment from a provincial authority after hours of unverified reports.
The desk's coverage of the Bushehr strikes began at 01:45 Jerusalem, when reports of multiple explosions in the city first emerged. Over the following hour, the thread developed rapidly: an Iranian official told Fars News Agency that US strikes had hit two bases; Fars itself reported the strikes; an Iranian source confirmed to N12 that the US was behind the attacks; and Iranian official sources confirmed the strikes without specifying the attacker. By 11:44 Jerusalem, opposition sources, cited by Israeli media, reported that three IRGC-related targets — an aerospace facility, a Revolutionary Guard base, and a site near the airbase — had been hit. That reporting, which The Zioneer covered at 11:44, remained unverified until the deputy governor's statement.
Bushehr province, a major energy hub, has been a focal point of the US-led campaign against Iranian military infrastructure. The Zioneer previously reported on air defense activations in Bushehr and strikes on radar systems in multiple provinces. On June 11, a Bushehr governorate official confirmed a target was struck in the highlands of Dashti County, though the nature of the attack was not specified.
The attacking force remains unidentified; the United States and its allies have not claimed responsibility for strikes in the Bushehr area. The deputy governor's description of the attack as a "rocket barrage" rather than a precision strike leaves open questions about the type of munitions used and the extent of damage. No casualty figures have been released.
