Iranian state media has broadcasted images of flames and smoke rising from what it describes as the civilian port of Bushehr, targeted by US or Israeli airstrikes on Saturday. IRIB State television correspondent reported that the strikes targeted two piers, one used for fishing and the other for passenger ships, suggesting an attack on maritime or logistical infrastructure rather than directly on the nuclear facility itself. The incident appears to be part of an intensifying military campaign involving U.S. and Israeli operations against Iranian targets, with multiple military and strategic sites reportedly hit around the same time. Bushehr has been repeatedly referenced in recent weeks due to its strategic importance, including its proximity to Iran’s only nuclear power plant and key energy export infrastructure, and earlier strikes near the area had already heightened international concern about the risks of escalation.
