Unverified reports indicate that US aircraft are currently carrying out heavy strikes on six areas in southern Iran, including the port city of Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, Sirik, Kangan, and Hengam. No official confirmation has been issued by US or Iranian authorities.
The latest reports, received at Mon 00:41 Jerusalem, indicate that US aircraft have struck six specific areas in southern Iran: Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, Sirik, Kangan, and Hengam. These reports follow a wave of strikes that US Central Command confirmed at 00:19 Jerusalem, targeting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) positions across southern and central Iran. The six-area list expands on earlier reporting that had already identified several of these locations individually.
The Zioneer's coverage of this night's strikes began at 00:19 Jerusalem, when the US military announced a new wave of strikes. Within minutes, the desk reported that the Bandar Abbas air force base had been bombed (version 2), that explosions were heard in Sirik (version 3), and that Bushehr was struck (version 4). CENTCOM then confirmed the strikes were specifically against IRGC targets, with explosions reported in Minab (version 5). A sixth version reported heavy bombing across multiple cities including Bushehr, Konarak, Qeshm, Bandar Abbas, Jask, Minab, and Mahang. The reporting has evolved from a single US announcement to a confirmed campaign with multiple corroborating local reports, though independent verification of each impact remains pending.
The currently reported targets align with locations The Zioneer has previously identified as potential strike sites. On June 10, a preliminary US target list included Sirik, Jask, Bandar Abbas, and Qeshm Island. A subsequent map published on July 12 listed 15 confirmed impact locations, including Bushehr, Bandar Abbas, and Qeshm Island. The strikes are part of an ongoing US campaign against Iranian military infrastructure, as The Zioneer has consistently reported.
No official confirmation of the individual strikes has been issued by Iranian authorities, and US Central Command has not provided a detailed breakdown of the six areas. The nature of the targets in each location and any casualties remain unknown. The reports of strikes in Kangan and Hengam are particularly new and unverified by any official source.
