According to Fars, the Bushehr provincial police chief said: “A 900-meter-long branch line with a 42-inch pipe, along with an underground oil storage tank, has been identified in Dashti County, Bushehr Province.” The local official told Fars that “more than 50,000 liters of crude oil, worth 50 billion rials, have so far been discovered, and equipment” connected to the unauthorized pipeline has been seized. The report did not identify the person or group involved in building and operating the pipeline, and it is unclear whether they have been identified and are being pursued. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

The Zanjan IRGC announced in a statement that three members of the military organization were killed in U.S. attacks on parts of Iran early Thursday morning. The statement from the Zanjan Province IRGC public relations office named the three members, but gave no further details about where they were killed, their rank, or where they were stationed. This comes after Iranian media had reported just hours earlier that the following areas were hit in the early Thursday attacks: “Ahvaz, Abadan, Bandar Abbas, Qeshm, Bandar Anzali in Gilan Province, Kazerun and Farashband in Fars Province, Choghadak in Bushehr Province, Shadegan and Arvandkenar in Khuzestan Province, and Kish Island.” @VahidHeadline Unverified message received: They were not killed in Zanjan itself. 📡 @VahidOnline

Images received on 25 Tir, captioned: Bushehr Airport passenger terminal and the remains of an airplane Government spokesperson today: Bushehr Airport is no longer usable and must be rebuilt from scratch. All that remains of an airplane we had just purchased is its tail. Vahid: The spokesperson for the Islamic Republic’s government says Bushehr Airport was completely destroyed in recent U.S. attacks and is no longer usable, and “must definitely be rebuilt from the ground up.” At her weekly press conference with reporters on Tuesday, 6 Mordad, Fatemeh Mohajerani said that during a visit to Bushehr Airport, she saw “the remains of a newly purchased airplane.” Its entire fuselage had been destroyed by a direct missile strike, with only a small part of its tail left. This is the first time an Iranian government official has reported that Bushehr Airport was completely destroyed in the attacks on Iran. @VahidHeadline A tweet, along with screenshots about information on an Airbus 319: This plane was 24 years old!

Fox News hosts, on-screen captions, machine translation: Host: Let’s take a look at the power plants and locations we might be able to target. Lucas, when you look at these as potential targets, where do you think we might strike first? Lucas: Well, I don’t know if it would be the first target, but the Damavand power plant supplies 40 percent of Tehran’s electricity. The Bushehr nuclear power plant probably won’t be targeted either. The Russians built it, and they still provide Iran with low-enriched uranium. Host: Because, Lucas, we should point out that blowing up a nuclear power plant carries risks. Lucas: No doubt. The South Pars gas field also sits atop the world’s largest natural gas field. Israeli forces targeted it on March 18, at the start of the war, and Iran responded by attacking the Qatari section of that same gas field. Host: If we wanted to send a message in the very strait where they’re attacking ships, isn’t that where we should go after them? Lucas: Yes; the only question is what Iran’s response would be. We’ve seen Iran retaliate. Qatar’s natural gas facilities and the UAE’s oil fields are the main concern. Host: So if we hit a power plant, they’ll respond in kind? Lucas: No doubt. This has been tit for tat the whole time. What’s notable about the Israelis is that they deliver disproportionate responses. That’s probably one reason Israel hasn’t reentered the war. Iran hasn’t attacked Israel since early June. Host: What’s your assessment of the way we’re operating now? Do you think our response is disproportionate, or could it have been even more disproportionate? Lucas: Our response isn’t disproportionate. What’s notable is that U.S. forces attacked Iranian barracks after a U.S. base in Jordan was targeted—the attack that killed three U.S. Army soldiers. Host: So this is the power plant we might target. This is the most important one. Let’s go to the other side of the map; this is Kuh-e Kolang, or Pickaxe Mountain. Lucas: U.S. intelligence assessments indicate that Iran likely moved some of its enriched uranium from Fordow to Pickaxe Mountain a few days before Operation Midnight Hammer, a year ago. This site is much deeper than the other nuclear facilities. It’s also in the Zagros Mountains, where the rock is very hard dolomite, so an airstrike would be extremely difficult. That’s one reason ground forces might be used. In fact, a mission like this would be for U.S. Army special mission units—forces such as Delta, SEAL Team Six, and the Air Force’s 24th Special Tactics Squadron. The risk is that no one knows exactly what’s inside. There are no engineering blueprints for the interior of Pickaxe Mountain. Host: Right. That’s what we’re saying. Lucas: The International Atomic Energy Agency has never had access to this site. So we don’t know for certain whether centrifuges and highly enriched uranium have been moved to Pickaxe Mountain, but the site is under surveillance. We heard President Trump say that Pickaxe Mountain would be targeted soon. We’ve seen B-1 bombers take off from Britain, and, of course, B-2 bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri took off for the same round-the-world flight we saw during Operation Midnight Hammer. Host: And Natanz was targeted too, right? Lucas: Natanz was targeted. Fordow and Isfahan were targeted as well. Those were the three sites targeted in Operation Midnight Hammer a year ago. However, Pickaxe Mountain has remained untouched so far. [There were lines in the video that I didn’t include here to keep the post within the character limit.] Host: And now, as I understand it, this power plant [Damavand] supplies two million people. Lucas: Yes. Host: And it’s outside Tehran. Lucas: If the president wanted to deliver a response that could be seen as somewhat disproportionate, he’d target the Damavand power plant. Again, it supplies 40 percent of Tehran’s electricity—that is, the capital’s power. The only question is whether you want to cut off electricity to millions of Iranians who sympathize with America’s ideals. FoxNews 📡 @VahidOnline

IRGC: Two oil tankers exploded and caught fire in a massive blaze after passing through the mined route south of the Strait of Hormuz Government sources: Public Relations Office of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: In the name of God, the Crusher of tyrants, and fight them until there is no more persecution. 🔹 Heroic and clear-sighted people of Islamic Iran; your presence on the scene and your street demonstrations, as the martyred leader of the nation said, are the fuel for the missiles of the Islamic fighters, and your prayers guarantee their brilliant victories. 🔹 A short while ago, two oil tankers that had been deceived by U.S. intelligence agencies into attempting to pass through the mined route south of the Strait of Hormuz exploded and caught fire in a massive blaze. 🔹 The IRGC Navy firmly declares that the Strait of Hormuz is extremely unsafe and completely closed because of the atrocities of the child-killing U.S. military. Until the aggression of criminal America ends, it will be impossible to export chemical fertilizer—or even a single drop of oil and gas—from this region. 🔹 Vessels must not be deceived and enter the mined route, in order to protect their assets and, more importantly, their lives. Victory comes only from God, the Almighty, the Wise. Earlier: 🔹 IRGC: Moments ago, an MQ-9 drone was intercepted and destroyed in the skies over Bushehr by fire from the IRGC Navy’s new advanced air-defense system, operating under the country’s integrated air-defense network. 📡 @VahidOnline

On Monday, 22 Tir, just minutes after a two-day province-wide closure was announced in Hormozgan, the governors of Khuzestan and Bushehr also announced closures and reduced working hours in the two southern provinces on Tuesday and Wednesday, 23 and 24 Tir. Iranian state news agencies said the closures were due to “unprecedented increases in temperatures and the need to maintain the stability of the country’s power grid.” According to a notice from the Bushehr Governor’s Office, all government offices and executive agencies in the province will be fully closed on Wednesday, while their hours on Tuesday will be reduced to 11 a.m. At the same time, the Khuzestan Governor’s Office announced that, due to the extreme heat, government offices in the province would operate remotely on Wednesday. On Tuesday, they will also be open until 11 a.m., as in the neighboring province. The closures in the southern provinces come as tensions rise in the Strait of Hormuz. Over the past five days, the US military has carried out extensive attacks on various cities in these provinces. @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

🔸 The governor of Konarak announced that a naval military zone in the county was attacked in two waves on Thursday evening. 🔸 Mohammad Younes Haqqani told the IRNA news agency that the attack was carried out by “enemy fighter jets” and that emergency responders, security forces, and the relevant authorities were investigating the incident. 🔸 Hours earlier, the deputy governor of Bushehr for political and security affairs had also reported an attack on a military facility on the outskirts of Bushehr, saying that the explosion heard in the city had been caused by air defense activity. 🔸 Meanwhile, Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting had earlier denied reports of explosions in cities in southern Iran, stating that “so far, no explosions have occurred in the south of the country.” @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

At IRNA, they ran a hard-hitting headline in Persian about the sound of air defense activity. But when you go into the article, you find this: “A military base on the outskirts of Bushehr was targeted and struck by a projectile from the American-Zionist enemy.” IRNA seems to have gone so far as to claim it could identify the country that launched the projectile from the sound of the explosion on impact. Ehsan Jahaniyan, Bushehr Province’s deputy governor for political and security affairs, said Thursday evening that a military base on the outskirts of Bushehr had been struck by a projectile. Meanwhile, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting said no explosions had been reported so far in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm, Sirik, or Jask. Earlier, Iranian media reported hearing explosions in cities including Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, Ahvaz, Konarak, and Choghadak. A US official told CNN Thursday evening: “The US military is not conducting an attack at this time.” @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

The speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly says reports that inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency have been allowed access to damaged nuclear sites are “false.” In a televised interview, the second part of which aired on the Islamic Republic’s state television on Wednesday evening, 10 Tir, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf referred to a law passed by parliament and a resolution of the Islamic Republic’s Supreme National Security Council, stressing that under the law, “access will under no circumstances be granted to sites that have been bombed and damaged.” According to the Islamic Republic’s chief negotiator, the Supreme National Security Council is responsible for determining the level of access, and “no concessions will be made beyond that.” Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said that under the council’s resolution, IAEA inspectors’ access is currently limited to two sites: the Bushehr nuclear power plant and the Tehran reactor. They have no access to any other site. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline
