Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported on X early Monday of widespread attacks currently underway in Khuzestan province, specifically targeting the cities of Behbahan and Andimeshk. The reports are unverified; Iranian state media has not commented. The reported strikes expand the geographic scope of overnight operations in southern Iran.
The reports follow a series of explosions in the same region earlier tonight. At 01:37 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported explosions in Dezful, followed by reports of explosions in both Behbahan and Dezful, and then renewed explosions in Behbahan. At 01:52 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported a wave of US airstrikes hitting at least 15 targets in the Bandar Abbas area, with additional strikes on Qeshm Island, Sirik, and Jask, as well as targets in Khuzestan and Hormozgan provinces. All reports remain unverified, with no official confirmation from Iranian authorities.
The overnight strikes are part of a broader campaign of US operations against Iranian air defense and military infrastructure across southern Iran, as The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks. Analyst Yair Goldblatt has been a consistent source of unverified reports on X throughout the campaign.
The nature and scale of the current attacks remain unconfirmed. No damage or casualty figures have been reported, and Iranian state media has not commented.
