  "summary": "Iran suggests the explosions in southern Iran on Saturday evening were related to Iranian military activities rather than US strikes, while both sides reported that shipping had been hit in or near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s state television stated that officials had not confirmed any missile strikes on Iranian territory following the blasts heard in several areas, including on Qeshm Island in the strait. The US, on the other hand, claimed its air force had disabled a vessel in the Gulf of Oman beyond the strait.",
