Iran's state news agency Mehr stated on Wednesday that the Bushehr nuclear power station sustained no harm in the wake of American military operations.

The assertion came as multiple developments unfolded across the region. Iranian media reported explosions heard near Abu Musa Island and in the port city of Jask. Additionally, power outages affected portions of Jabharr, an Iranian coastal city, following the sound of blasts in the area.

The United States Central Command indicated that military operations against Iran were being conducted under the direction of President Donald Trump, who serves as commander-in-chief of the armed forces. American military officials confirmed that additional strikes targeting Iranian positions had commenced.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps responded to the developments by pledging to retaliate against the American military operations.

In a separate development, Lebanese singer Fadel Shaker, who was recently released, issued his first public statement. "Today, new chapters of freedom have been written for me, and I am grateful to God first and foremost, and to everyone who stood by my side and supported me throughout my case," Shaker said. "I ask for your understanding regarding my health and family circumstances, and I hope you will grant me a brief opportunity to recover and ensure my family's well-being."
