Smoke columns were reported rising near power plant sites in the Iranian city of Bushehr, according to unverified reports. The cause of the smoke is not yet clear. The area has been a focal point of US military threats against Iranian infrastructure in recent days.
Unverified reports circulating on social media and Telegram channels indicate smoke columns rising near power plant sites in the Iranian city of Bushehr, as of Wednesday evening Jerusalem time. The source of the smoke remains unconfirmed, and it is not yet clear whether it stems from a strike, an industrial accident, or another cause.
The report comes amid the backdrop of heightened US-Iran tensions.
