Airwars Assessment

Last Updated: 23 September 2026

On July 24, 2026, two people were reported injured as a result of alleged U.S. airstrikes in Bandar Abbas, Iran.

The day of the strike, @hormoznegar reported via Ble social media platform that “the CEO of the Hormozgan Red Crescent announced the transfer of two injured people from shrapnel hitting several buildings in the Tappe Allah Akbar neighborhood to the hospital and said: “The situation at the scene is under full control of the rescue forces and the condition of the injured is stable.” BBC Persian published video footage of several strikes and reported that “on the 13th night of the US attacks on Iran, cities including [...] Bandar Abbas [...] were hit by US airstrikes.” According to Mehr News, the area sustained infrastructure damage as well, namely, “an electric pole was broken and a power line was also torn at the scene of the incident.”

A number of social media accounts posted videos of the strikes and their aftermath. The videos showed buildings with varying levels of damage ranging from external shrapnel damage to complete destruction. In a clip posted to Instagram by @bandari_tv, for example, a man said that this was the fifth time the radio station in Tappe Allah Akbar was targeted. He also explained that the telecommunications towers (which were visible in the video) had already been dismantled and removed from the station but despite their removal, the station was attacked again. Sobhe Sahel Daily posted a photo of “debris from last night's attack on Bandar Abbas” on Instagram as well. It is unclear if the photo showed a munitions fragment or some other type of debris.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the attack to U.S. forces. Following the strikes, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced via Twitter/X that it had “targeted Iranian military command centers, drone storage facilities, communication networks, coastal surveillance sites, and maritime capabilities to further diminish the threat Iran poses to civilian mariners and commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.” CENTCOM did not specify in its statement that it had carried out strikes in Bandar Abbas; therefore, Airwars has graded the strike status of this incident as “likely”.
