Mysterious, unclaimed airstrikes struck Iran on Thursday, intensifying questions about who is targeting the Islamic Republic.

These strikes hit multiple areas across southern Iran shortly after the U.S. military's Central Command announced it had completed its own operation. Central Command stated around 6:30 a.m. local Iran time that it had struck 90 targets. However, Iranian news outlets and state media reported a series of explosions and airstrikes hitting provinces like Bushehr and Sistan and Baluchestan, as well as cities such as Ahvaz and Chabahar.

Central Command has not responded to inquiries about the additional strikes. Iran's theocracy has also not directly assigned blame for the attacks. Gulf Arab states and Israel have similarly remained silent regarding any involvement in recent strikes against Iran, leaving the perpetrators and their motives unclear.
