01 · THE DISPATCH

A preliminary report from an Israeli security source indicates explosions were heard in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday afternoon, and that Iranian forces are attempting to target US vessels in the area. The report is unconfirmed and details are limited.

The Strait of Hormuz has been a flashpoint for weeks. The Zioneer has reported on multiple incidents in the waterway, including warning shots fired by the IRGC at US vessels and explosions near Qeshm Island and Sirik (June 13–14). This latest report, if verified, would represent a direct attempt to harm US ships, a significant escalation.

No official confirmation from US or Iranian sources is available at this time.
