Several sites in the Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas were hit by American missiles, according to Israeli news outlet ynet. The report states that no casualties have been reported so far.
At 19:05 Jerusalem, Israeli news outlet ynet reported that American missiles struck several sites in the strategic port city of Bandar Abbas, with no casualties reported. This is the first report in today's sequence to directly attribute the attacks to US missiles and to specify that no casualties occurred. Earlier Thursday, starting at 03:50 Jerusalem, a series of unverified reports described explosions in the city.
The thread began at 03:50 Jerusalem with reports of explosions in Bandar Abbas (V1). Minutes later, analyst Yair Goldblatt cited approximately four explosions (V2). Then Channel 12 News, citing Iranian sources, reported additional explosions (V3), followed by reports of echoes of explosions (V4) and additional explosions in Bandar Abbas and other southern sites (V5). By V6, Iranian sources explicitly claimed a US strike in the past hour. The reports evolved from unverified local sources to multiple news outlets citing Iranian sources, but none have been confirmed by official US or Iranian sources.
As The Zioneer previously reported, power outages were reported in Bandar Abbas on July 8 (published 23:58 Jerusalem), and earlier in June, US strikes near Minab injured two civilians (published Jun 11, 02:38 Jerusalem). The broader context includes ongoing US strikes on Iran, with US officials stating no American casualties or significant damage from Iranian attacks (e.g., Jul 9, 19:40 Jerusalem).
The ynet report is based on a single source and has not been independently verified. No official confirmation from Iranian or US authorities has been released. The extent of damage to the sites in Bandar Abbas remains unknown.
