Iranian authorities acknowledged that missiles were fired at Qeshm Island by what they termed 'the enemy,' according to Israeli media (N12). No details on the source of the fire, targets, or casualties have been released. The acknowledgment follows a series of recent, unverified reports of strikes on Iranian coastal targets.
Iranian authorities have acknowledged that missiles were fired at Qeshm Island by what they termed "the enemy," according to Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The acknowledgment, reported at 19:21 Jerusalem, follows a series of explosions reported earlier today on the island and in the nearby port city of Bandar Abbas.
At 19:05 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported explosions in Bandar Abbas (version 1), followed minutes later by reports of explosions also on Qeshm Island (version 2), and then further explosions on Qeshm Island (version 3). The Iranian acknowledgment now provides official confirmation of missile fire, but offers no details on the source, targets, or casualties. The identity of "the enemy" is not specified, though the term is used by Iranian state media to refer to the United States or Israel.
The development is the latest in a series of reported strikes and explosions in southern Iran. On June 28, The Zioneer reported that Iranian media described fresh strikes on Qeshm Island and the ports of Bandar Lengeh and Bandar Kong. Earlier today (19:00 Jerusalem), unverified reports emerged of Iranian missiles targeting US forces in Kuwait. On July 8, reports indicated Iranian missiles had been fired at US warships. The Zioneer has also reported on explosions on Kish Island (July 9) and on claims of 1,000 missiles aimed at Iran (July 11).
The picture remains fragmented. The acknowledgment is based on a single Israeli media report citing an Iranian source. The Zioneer has not independently verified the location, extent, or source of the strike. Details on whether any missiles were intercepted, what was targeted, and any casualties remain unknown.
