Social media reports have surfaced claiming that the United States conducted airstrikes on a missile site in Tabriz, Iran, on July 20. The videos, disseminated by Vahid Online via @IranIntl_En, purportedly depict these strikes. However, the authenticity of these reports remains unverified, with credible sources attributing previous strikes on similar sites to Israel. The region is currently a flashpoint amid ongoing tensions, particularly with U.S. and Iranian forces engaging around the Strait of Hormuz.
