Iranian state television reported that several explosions were heard in the city of Jask in southern Iran, according to security analyst Yair Goldblatt. No further details on the cause or any damage have been reported.
At 00:17 Jerusalem, Iranian state television, cited by security analyst Yair Goldblatt, reported that several explosions were heard in the city of Jask in southern Iran. The confirmation comes hours after the US military acknowledged it was carrying out strikes on Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz, with earlier reports of explosions in the same coastal region.
The thread of reports began at 22:44 Jerusalem, when local sources reported explosions on Abu Musa Island and in Jask port. By that time, a US official had confirmed ongoing strikes on Iranian targets, and CENTCOM announced additional precision strikes across Iran. The explosions in Jask were part of the initial wave of reports that night, consistent with the US military campaign to protect freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
The Zioneer has reported on a series of unexplained explosions across southern Iran over recent weeks, including in Jask, Qeshm, Sirik, and Minab (as reported on June 10 and June 11). The current blasts occur in the context of the broader US operation against Iranian military capabilities threatening the strategic waterway.
The cause of the latest explosions and any damage or casualties remain unconfirmed. Iranian state television has not provided further details, and the reports are still unverified by independent sources.
