According to the director of ports and maritime of Iran's Hormozgan province, the black smoke seen behind the fish market in Bandar Abbas is the result of enemy shells striking the fishing pier and setting several civilian fishing boats on fire. The statement, reported by analyst Yair Goldblatt, has not been independently verified.
The director of ports and maritime of Hormozgan province, identified as 'Shahid Bahnar,' made the statement in a post on X (formerly Twitter) cited by Israel-based analyst Yair Goldblatt. The official attributed the black smoke to an enemy attack on the fishing pier and the burning of civilian fishing boats, without specifying the source of the shells. The Zioneer previously reported on a series of explosions in Bandar Abbas on June 11, and on a separate maritime fire incident near Sohar, Oman, on June 11. No independent confirmation of the attack on the fishing pier has been reported, and the identity of the alleged attackers remains unclear.
