Iranian media report a new wave of strikes near the city of Sirik and Qeshm Island in southern Iran, according to Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The source of the strikes and details on targets or casualties are not yet available.
At 00:47 Jerusalem, Iranian media reported a new wave of strikes near the city of Sirik and Qeshm Island in southern Iran, according to Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The reports come less than an hour after a series of explosions and strikes were documented across the same area, including multiple blasts on Qeshm Island that Iranian state television said totaled more than 16 explosions.
Earlier tonight, at 00:07 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported a rapid sequence of developments: initial reports of US Air Force strikes on Iran, followed by unverified reports of airstrikes on Bandar Abbas, Sirik, and Qeshm Island, attributed by some sources to US retaliation for attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Within minutes, Iranian state TV confirmed at least six explosions on Qeshm Island, then additional blasts, and finally reported more than 16 explosions in the area. The corroboration evolved from Israeli journalists citing local sources to official state media acknowledgment.
As The Zioneer reported in several bulletins throughout June, the region has been a recurring target of US strikes aimed at Iranian military infrastructure, including a June 10 wave in Jask County and a June 28 wave on Qeshm Island and Bandar Lengeh (The Zioneer, June 10, 11, 28). The broader context of US operations against Iranian air defenses and command centers has been documented by the desk.
The source of the latest wave of strikes and the extent of damage or casualties remain unclear. Iranian state media have not yet issued an official statement on this specific wave. The reports remain unverified.
