At 00:52 Jerusalem, security analyst Yair Goldblatt posted footage on X that he attributes to the ongoing strikes in Bandar Abbas, southern Iran. The posting comes less than an hour after his earlier report at 00:07 of strikes at the Shahid Rajaei Port, and amid a series of unverified reports of escalating attacks in the area since the initial strikes were reported at 00:07.
The thread began at 00:07 with reports of a US strike on Sirik Island, followed by CENTCOM confirmation of retaliatory strikes. By 00:07, the focus had shifted to the Bandar Abbas area, with local reports of smoke columns at the 9th Tactical Airbase and later identification of a strike on the base. Iranian sources described the strikes as intense, and a US official called them 'serious'. Goldblatt's initial report at 00:07 specified ongoing strikes at the port, and his new footage adds a possible visual element.
Goldblatt is a prominent Israeli security analyst who has been a regular source for The Zioneer on Iranian military targets, as previously noted. The Zioneer has covered earlier strikes in the region, including a June 11 report on strategic assets targeted in southern Iran. The current strikes are part of the US response to Iranian attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, as first reported by CENTCOM at 00:07.
The footage's origin and timing have not been independently verified. The specific targets and damage from the ongoing strikes remain unconfirmed, and the scale of the operation is still unfolding.
