  • Iran's state media reported a US-Israeli projectile struck a military headquarters near Bushehr.
  • The report came hours after reported clashes between the US and Iran.
  • A US defense official stated the US military was not conducting strikes in Iran.

Iranian state media reported on Thursday that a projectile, attributed to the United States and Israel, struck a military headquarters on the outskirts of Bushehr. The incident was reported hours after clashes between the US and Iran intensified.

According to Iran's state news agency IRNA, the deputy governor of Bushehr, Ehsan Jahanian, stated, "Moments ago, a military headquarters on the outskirts of Bushehr was attacked and hit by a projectile of the American-Zionist enemy." This statement directly accused the US and Israel of the attack.

However, a US defense official contradicted the Iranian report, stating that the US military was not currently carrying out any strikes on Iran. This conflicting information highlights the tense and uncertain nature of the situation between the two nations.

The reported strike and the subsequent denials add another layer to the ongoing tensions in the region, particularly concerning Iran's nuclear program and its regional activities.
