Blasts Rock Southern Iran Amid Hormuz Crisis With US
(MENAFN) A series of explosions struck coastal areas of southern Iran early Thursday, hitting Sirik, Minab and Qeshm Island, Iranian media outlets reported.
Iran's official state news agency, said parts of Sirik had come under attack from "hostile projectiles," though it gave no further details on the strikes.
A news agency reported blasts across Sirik, Minab and Qeshm Island, quoting local officials who said the sounds appeared to originate from the direction of the sea.
The latest explosions follow a report from the news agency on Wednesday describing a blast heard from the sea near the southern city of Jask.
The incidents unfolded against a backdrop of escalating friction between Tehran and Washington over the Strait of Hormuz — tension that has persisted despite a memorandum signed in June laying groundwork for reopening the vital waterway as a first step toward a broader peace agreement.
