A regional monitoring channel reports that a US airstrike struck the building of the Communications and Radio Regulation Authority in Bandar Abbas, southern Iran. No casualties or damage details have been reported, and the strike has not been confirmed by official sources.
A regional monitoring channel reported on Tuesday that a US airstrike struck the building of the Communications and Radio Regulation Authority in the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas. No details on casualties, damage, or the precise time of the strike were provided, and the report has not been confirmed by US or Iranian officials. The new strike follows a series of attacks on Bandar Abbas infrastructure documented over the past week.
The Zioneer reported on Monday (00:42 Jerusalem) that the US Army had confirmed a new wave of strikes and that the Bandar Abbas air base had been bombed. Earlier, on Sunday Jul 12 (02:22 Jerusalem), reports emerged of US strikes targeting IRGC positions in Bandar Abbas and underwater sites. Over the preceding days, The Zioneer reported on an attack and shutdown of Bandar Abbas International Airport (Jul 8, 01:59 Jerusalem), a missile strike destroying a radio station (Tue 00:30 Jerusalem), and an overnight attack on a telecom tower (Tue 09:17 Jerusalem). The reports of the radio station and telecom tower came from a single channel and remained unverified at the time.
The Communications and Radio Regulation Authority is a government regulatory body, and the current strike appears to target Iran's communications oversight capabilities, as part of the broader US campaign against Iranian military and communications assets, as The Zioneer has reported. The extent of the damage to the building and its operational impact remain unclear. The strike has not been independently verified or formally acknowledged by either side.
