On Thursday, Iranian state media reported that the United States military conducted strikes targeting multiple locations within Iran’s Bushehr province. According to Ehsan Jahanian, the deputy governor of Bushehr province, the strikes hit several sites, specifically mentioning the area surrounding the Bushehr nuclear power plant, a military base in the town of Choghadak, and a fishing pier in the southern part of the province.

While Iranian officials have confirmed the locations targeted, there has been no immediate confirmation or statement from the United States Department of Defense regarding these claims. The reports from Iranian state media indicate that there were no immediate casualties resulting from the strikes. The proximity of the strikes to the Bushehr nuclear facility—Iran's only operational nuclear power plant—has raised concerns regarding regional stability, though the extent of the damage to the perimeter remains unverified by independent sources. The situation remains developing as international observers await further clarification from both Washington and Tehran.
