A U.S. missile has reportedly struck an uninhabited area near Piranshahr, a city in northwestern Iran, according to Iranian media. The Fars news agency cited a local official who stated that the strike caused no casualties.
This incident follows earlier reports of damage to an Iranian missile base in Tabriz, revealed through satellite imagery from Planet Labs PBC. These images showed collapsed tunnel entrances after what were described as U.S. and Israeli attacks.
Furthermore, in June 2025, the United States conducted a significant operation, code-named Operation Midnight Hammer, targeting three Iranian nuclear facilities: the Fordow Uranium Enrichment Plant, the Natanz Nuclear Facility, and the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center. These strikes, executed by the U.S. Air Force and Navy using GBU-57A/B MOP bombs and Tomahawk missiles, were part of the broader Twelve-Day War. President Donald Trump asserted that the strikes "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities. A subsequent Pentagon assessment suggested Iran's nuclear program was set back by approximately two years, though other reports indicated less severe damage.
