Unverified footage published on social media appears to show one of the American strikes on the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas. The clip has not been independently confirmed, and it follows a wave of reported US strikes on military infrastructure in the area.
New unverified footage has surfaced on social media, purportedly showing one of the American strikes on the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas. The clip, shared by an account covering Iran, adds to a growing visual record of reported US military operations in the area. The exact time and location within the city are not specified, and the footage has not been independently confirmed. The development comes as The Zioneer has tracked a series of unverified reports from Bandar Abbas throughout Thursday.
The first reports of explosions in Bandar Abbas emerged at 03:50 Jerusalem, when security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported approximately four blasts based on local sources. Within minutes, additional explosions were reported by Channel 12 News, citing Iranian sources, followed by reports of echoes of explosions and then a claim by Iranian sources that the United States had carried out a strike. By 03:50, Israeli news outlet ynet reported that no casualties had been recorded in the strikes. Later that morning, unverified footage from the port area showed strong explosions and heavy smoke rising from the port. At 21:42 Jerusalem, Iranian state television reported a new wave of US strikes targeting the Bandar Abbas area, according to a SAME-THREAD report by The Zioneer. The latest footage emerged after that state television report.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the broader campaign: overnight on July 8, power outages were reported in Bandar Abbas (Wed Jul 8, 23:58 Jerusalem). On July 13, the US Army confirmed a new wave of strikes and that the Bandar Abbas air base had been bombed (Mon Jul 13, 00:42 Jerusalem), and US Central Command released strike footage (Mon Jul 13, 08:16 Jerusalem). The current clip fits within this pattern of unverified visual documentation of ongoing operations.
As with all reports from Bandar Abbas in this thread, the new footage remains unverified by independent sources. No official confirmation of the specific strike shown has been issued by US or Iranian authorities. Details on targets, damage, and casualties remain unknown.
