According to unverified reports circulating in Iran, residents of the port city of Jask, east of the Strait of Hormuz, have been patrolling with weapons and are said to be awaiting the arrival of American forces. The reports have not been independently confirmed.
The port city of Jask, located in Iran's Hormozgan province on the Gulf of Oman, has been a recurring flashpoint in the ongoing US-Iranian friction. The Zioneer has previously reported on US strikes targeting IRGC infrastructure in the Jask area, as well as Iranian missile launches from nearby Sirik. The unverified report of Jask residents arming themselves and awaiting American forces, if true, would mark a notable development in the local security situation. The source of the report is a single source; no independent confirmation has been obtained.
