A US military strike on an airport in the southeastern Iranian city of Iranshahr killed a firefighter early Thursday, according to Iranian state media. The incident, if confirmed by independent sources, would represent a significant breach of the ceasefire between the US, Israel, and Iran that has been in place since April 8, 2026.
What happened in Iranshahr
Iranian state media reported that the strike targeted an airport in Iranshahr, a city in Iran’s Sistan-Baluchestan province. The sole confirmed casualty was a firefighter killed during the attack.
Major international outlets including the Financial Times, The Guardian, and the Wall Street Journal have not independently verified the strike as of Thursday.
On June 3, Iranian missiles struck Kuwait International Airport, killing one person and injuring 63, which forced the facility to temporarily shut down. That attack was itself a violation of the same ceasefire framework that this latest reported strike would breach.
