Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reports, citing Iranian sources, that the US military struck oil refining facilities in the city of Asaluyeh in southern Iran. The report is unverified; Iranian state media has not commented.
The report, posted by security analyst Yair Goldblatt on X, claims that US forces struck oil refining facilities in Asaluyeh, a key energy hub in southern Iran's Bushehr province. The attack would mark a new phase in the ongoing US campaign against Iranian oil infrastructure, which has previously targeted refineries on Lavan Island (as The Zioneer reported on July 8) and the port of Bushehr. The reports are unverified; Iranian state media has not confirmed the strike. The Zioneer cannot independently verify the claim.
