Military Strikes Reported on Iranian Sites as Explosions Heard in Bushehr

Military strikes targeted Iranian military sites aimed at degrading the country's missile and drone capabilities, according to a U.S. official cited by American media, as Iranian media reported explosions in the southern city of Bushehr.

The U.S. official said the strikes were focused on military facilities associated with Iran's missile and unmanned aerial vehicle programs. No further details were immediately provided regarding the scale of the operation or the extent of the damage.

Meanwhile, Iranian media reported hearing explosions in Bushehr, a strategic coastal city on the Persian Gulf that is home to Iran's only nuclear power plant and several military installations. The cause of the explosions was not immediately clear, and Iranian authorities did not issue an official statement on the reported blasts.

The reports come amid heightened regional tensions and growing concerns over the risk of a broader military confrontation in the Middle East.
