Explosions reported in southern Iran amid alleged Hormuz attacks
Explosions rocked Sirik in southern Iran early Monday as reports emerged of Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian state TV said.
Explosions were reported in Sirik, a city in southern Iran, on Monday morning, according to Iranian state television. The blasts occurred around the same time as reports of Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, though the broadcaster did not provide further details about the nature of the attacks or their intended targets. This follows a statement from a US official on Sunday, who announced that American forces had targeted two missile launchers belonging to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Larak Island, located in southern Iran.
The Revolutionary Guard had threatened retaliation for the strike, claiming that it resulted in the deaths and injuries of several fighters and civilians, although no specific figures were given. The Guard also warned of potential economic and military repercussions for the United States.
