🔻Reports of hearing the sound of an explosion in Qeshm

Iranian state news agency IRNA — and the news agency of the state-run broadcaster of this country — have reported hearing the sound of a “severe explosion” in Qeshm, but they say the source of the explosion has not yet been identified, and it is not clear whether the explosion occurred in the coastal waters of this Iranian island or on land.

Last night, the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf witnessed serious clashes between Iran and the United States. CENTCOM announced the “destruction” of five Iranian oil tankers, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) also said that, in addition to taking possession of a U.S. Navy unmanned submarine, it targeted two CENTCOM warships and 8 oil tankers.
