Israeli security analyst Yair Goldblatt reports, citing Iranian sources, that two attacks occurred near the Strait of Hormuz, following earlier explosions on Abu Musa Island. The reports are unverified, and no further details on the attacks are available.
Just after 23:57 Jerusalem reports of U.S. strikes on Abu Musa Island, Israeli security analyst Yair Goldblatt, citing Iranian sources, reports two additional attacks near the Strait of Hormuz at 23:59 Jerusalem. The exact nature of the attacks is unspecified, and the reports remain unverified.
Earlier tonight, at 22:44 Jerusalem, the U.S. military confirmed multiple waves of strikes on Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM announced it had begun additional precision strikes targeting Iranian military capabilities threatening freedom of navigation, and President Trump threatened further action. By 23:57, reports emerged of strikes targeting Abu Musa Island. The new report from Goldblatt now adds two more incidents in the same area.
As The Zioneer reported on July 7 at 22:42 Jerusalem, Goldblatt had previously raised the possibility of an attack in the Strait of Hormuz that night, citing GPS disruptions. The Zioneer has also covered earlier explosions and warning shots in the region since June, including incidents off Qeshm Island, Sirik, and Bandar Abbas, as well as IRGC warning fire.
What remains open: The latest reports of two attacks are unverified, with no details on the targets or perpetrators. No confirmation has come from Israeli, U.S., or Iranian official sources, and Iranian state media has not commented on the new reports.
