Unverified video footage circulating on Iranian Telegram channels shows at least 12 speedboats of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on fire in the port of Asaluyeh, southern Iran. The footage claims the boats were struck by an American attack earlier today. The report is from a single source and has not been independently confirmed.
New and unverified video footage from Iranian Telegram channels shows at least 12 speedboats of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) engulfed in flames at the port of Asaluyeh, southern Iran. The footage claims the boats were hit by an American strike earlier today, Thursday, July 9.
The video follows earlier footage released by Iranian sources today, as reported by The Zioneer at 16:07 Jerusalem, which showed boats attacked by the US military in the latest wave of exchanges. The new footage provides a specific location and a number of boats, though the earlier report did not specify the scale.
The footage comes amid weeks of escalating US-IRGC tensions in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. In recent days, the US has conducted strikes on IRGC speedboats, radar systems, and naval assets, while the IRGC has threatened American vessels and bases. The Zioneer has reported multiple instances of unverified Iranian claims of attacks on US targets, as well as US strikes on IRGC positions.
The footage remains unverified from a single source, and no independent confirmation has been obtained. The extent of damage and any casualties are not yet known.
