Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.
Bushehr's deputy governor Ehsan Jahanian said strikes on 9 July hit the perimeter of the Bushehr nuclear power plant, a military base in Choghadak and a fishing pier, with no casualties reported, the Guardian reported; CENTCOM told the BBC it had 'nothing' on the reported strike near the plant, and BBC Verify said viral footage showed smoke from a fishing pier, not the plant. IRNA said three IRGC members were killed in a strike near Ahvaz in Khuzestan. Trump posted videos of explosions and wrote that if Iran bombed ships again 'it will get much worse'.
