Unofficial media in Iran report chaos in the port city of Bandar Abbas, according to reports. Security analyst Yair Goldblatt is also cited on X. The reports follow earlier strikes in the area documented by The Zioneer.
Unofficial Iranian media are reporting chaos in the port city of Bandar Abbas as of 01:37 Jerusalem, with the phrase "chaos in Bandar Abbas now" circulating. The reports come minutes after security analyst Yair Goldblatt posted a powerful image from the strikes on X at 01:23 Jerusalem, and follow a series of reports from earlier in the night.
At 01:06 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that an IRGC-affiliated news agency described the ongoing strikes as the most powerful wave since the April ceasefire; that US strikes hit missile launchers, air defense systems, radars, and drone storage sites; that Iranian state television claimed US strikes targeted communication towers in Hormozgan province; and that unofficial Telegram channels released footage of an attack on the Shahid Haqqani port and IRGC Navy targets. The source quality evolved from a single IRGC-linked source to multiple unofficial channels and state television, though all reports remain unverified.
At 01:23 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Goldblatt posted an image from the Bandar Abbas strikes, providing visual corroboration of activity in the area. The broader context of the strikes, as reported earlier, is that they follow an Iranian attack on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
The nature of the chaos in Bandar Abbas—whether panic, explosions, or other disturbances—has not been specified. No casualties or responsible parties have been identified, and the information comes from unofficial sources and has not been independently corroborated.
