Unverified reports from Iranian sources say the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps naval base in the port city of Sirik is currently under attack. The source explicitly notes the reports are unconfirmed; no details on the nature or origin of the attack are yet available.
Unverified reports circulating on Telegram, cited by analyst Yair Goldblatt, now specify that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval base in Sirik is under attack. The source explicitly labels the reports as unverified. This latest claim follows a night of multiple unconfirmed incidents in the same area — all reported around 00:17 Jerusalem — including new explosions cited by security journalist Assaf Rosenzweig, drone activity heard off the coast, and reports of a second consecutive day of blasts near Sirik port, all coming hours after a wave of US strikes on Iranian military infrastructure in the region.
Earlier developments in the story thread, all published around 00:17 Jerusalem on the same night, include: version 8 (drone sounds off Sirik coast, reported by Goldblatt); version 7 (explosions near Sirik port, reported by Rosenzweig); version 6 (further unverified explosions near the Strait of Hormuz, cited by Rosenzweig); version 5 (reports of a second consecutive day of blasts in the area, per a Hebrew-language security source); version 4 (Iranian media reports of explosions near Sirik port, confirmed by Rosenzweig); version 2 (explosions reported both on Qeshm Island and off the Sirik coast); and version 1 (initial reports of explosions in the Sirik area from Persian-language media). The corroboration has remained at the level of unverified claims from Iranian sources and Israeli journalists citing them, with no official Iranian or US confirmation across the thread.
As The Zioneer previously reported, the Sirik area has seen a string of unverified incidents in recent weeks: a fire at the IRGC naval base reported on June 11, strikes on radar and air defense systems at the same base reported on June 10, and a claim by a Sirik County governor that a US missile strike hit a cruise ship in the Gulf of Oman on June 11. The broader context includes an ongoing US military campaign against Iranian infrastructure and sustained maritime friction in the Strait of Hormuz.
All reports remain unverified. No official confirmation has been provided by Iranian authorities, the IRGC, or the US military. The nature, origin, and extent of the alleged attack are unknown, and no details on casualties or damage have emerged.
