On July 8, 2026, US forces struck Iranian military facilities in Bushehr province, setting fire to bunkers linked to the IRGC Aerospace Force and missile operations. Three military bunkers caught fire. The Bushehr nuclear power plant, Iran’s only operational civilian nuclear facility, was not damaged.
Iranian sources confirmed two separate sites were affected: one in Dashti county and another near Choghadak. No casualties were reported by Iranian authorities.
What actually happened on the ground
The strikes targeted IRGC Aerospace Force sites and missile-related infrastructure, consistent with a broader US military campaign that has hit close to 90 Iranian military targets in the region, part of an initiative that traces back to Operation Midnight Hammer, launched in 2025.
