01 · THE DISPATCH

New reports from Iranian opposition sources describe explosions at a petrochemical plant in southern Iran Wednesday night, amid a prolonged wave of strikes and blasts across the country. Separately, reports indicate the first confirmed strikes on Qeshm Island — a strategic island in the Strait of Hormuz that houses Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval and missile facilities. The blasts follow days of attacks across southern Iran, including on Kharg Island and near Sirik, as reported by The Zioneer. Cause and damage remain unconfirmed; no casualties have been reported. The wave of explosions has been attributed in part to US CENTCOM operations announced earlier this week.
