Iran war live: New attacks on Iran as US says talks still on
Multiple explosions were reported in southern Iran, including near the Bushehr nuclear facility, on the day of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's funeral. A US official told Al Jazeera that the US military was not behind the strikes, and no group or country has claimed responsibility.
Multiple explosions were reported in southern Iran on Thursday, including near the Bushehr nuclear facility, according to Iranian officials and state media. The blasts occurred on the same day as the funeral of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a US-Israeli strike in February.
A US official told Al Jazeera that the US military was not behind the latest strikes. No one has so far claimed responsibility, and Iran has not blamed any specific country.
Coverage Comparison
The reports from Al Jazeera focus on the US denial of involvement and the timing of the strikes. One report emphasizes the explosions near the Bushehr nuclear facility and the lack of claims of responsibility. Another report highlights that Iranian state media said military headquarters were hit in Bushehr province and the port city of Konarak, with the US denial reiterated.
The two Al Jazeera reports present consistent information: explosions occurred in southern Iran, the US denies involvement, and there is no known responsible party. The reports do not provide details on the extent of damage or casualties.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
