Sounds of
explosions echoed from the waters off Bandar-e-Jask in Hormozgan Province
around 15:44 UTC, with Fars News Agency noting local time of 19:20 and no
details on the cause.
Reports spread via social media, including from Zero Hedge and others mentioning possible missile activity near the Strait of Hormuz, though all remain unconfirmed by authorities.
The incidents follow U.S. strikes on Iranian oil tankers near Jask and Kharg Island, set against warnings from Iranian officials about responses to such attacks. No casualties or damage have been reported yet, as the situation develops.
