Iranian Telegram channels report that fighter jets targeted the Shiraz airbase at 00:30 AM on Saturday, adding to the ongoing destruction of Iranian military infrastructure.
Reports of continued aerial bombardment within Iran emerged early Saturday, March 14, with multiple sources indicating a direct hit on a major military installation in the south of the country.
According to the prominent citizen-journalism and opposition-aligned aggregator Vahid Online, user-submitted footage confirms the nighttime attack. Sharing a received video, Vahid Online reported the accompanying caption: "Fighter jets struck the Shiraz airbase at 00:30 AM."
The timing and target were corroborated by Politics Cafe, a Persian-language political Telegram channel. Politics Cafe stated unequivocally: "Fighter jets struck the Shiraz airbase, Saturday, Esfand 23, 00:30 AM."
These strikes follow an unprecedented wave of joint U.S. and Israeli military operations conducted earlier this week, which systematically targeted Iranian military infrastructure, air defenses, and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) facilities. The bombardment of the Shiraz airbase aligns with U.S. President Donald Trump's recent declarations regarding the destruction of the Iranian Air Force.
Vahid Online mentions a received video accompanying the text, but only the text description was available in the source data. The reports are brief, uneditorialized alerts focused purely on the time and location of the strike.
