Security analyst Yair Goldblatt, citing Iranian reports, said the US military struck an oil refinery on Lavan Island in southern Iran. The attack follows earlier unconfirmed reports of strikes on the island and is part of a broader US campaign against Iranian military and economic targets in the Gulf region.
According to a report from security analyst Yair Goldblatt, citing Iranian sources, the US military struck an oil refinery on Lavan Island in southern Iran. The message, posted on X, did not provide details on the extent of damage or casualties. A second, separate message in the same feed stated broadly that 'US Army attacks in Iran' are occurring, reinforcing the claim that the refinery strike was part of a wider US operation.
The strike comes after a prior bulletin from The Zioneer 15 minutes earlier reported unconfirmed strikes on Lavan Island without specifying the target. The new report identifies the target as a refinery, adding specificity to the unfolding event.
This incident is part of a sustained US campaign against Iranian military infrastructure, which The Zioneer has covered extensively over the past weeks, including strikes on petrochemical plants, naval bases, and ammunition depots in southern Iran. The US has described these operations as retaliation for Iranian attacks on oil tankers in the Gulf.
No independent confirmation of the attack has been provided, and details remain sparse. The Zioneer will continue to monitor the situation.
