The Iranian Mehr news agency reports explosions heard in the Bandar Abbas area and on Qeshm Island, according to a Hebrew-language source. The cause, casualties, and damage are not yet known. This is the fourth unverified report of explosions in southern Iran today.
A fourth unverified report of explosions in southern Iran has emerged just after 12:40 Jerusalem, attributed to the Iranian Mehr news agency, which describes blasts heard in the Bandar Abbas area and on Qeshm Island. This follows earlier reports today at 11:31 and 12:19 Jerusalem, as The Zioneer reported, and extends a series of explosion accounts that began at 00:23 Jerusalem.
At 00:23 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published a series of reports detailing multiple rounds of explosions in Bandar Abbas, with state media and local sources describing blasts near the port and airport. By 11:31 Jerusalem, unverified reports placed explosions near Qeshm Island and Bandar Abbas. At 12:19 Jerusalem, fresh explosions were reported near the Bandar Abbas port. Throughout this sequence, the accounts have remained unverified, shifting from a single source to multiple outlets, including Iran's state news agency and Mehr, but without official Iranian confirmation.
As The Zioneer reported on June 22, June 24, and July 9, southern Iran has seen a pattern of blast reports in recent weeks, including in Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, Shiraz, and Kish Island. Today's wave of reports continue that pattern.
No official confirmation has been provided by Iranian authorities. The cause of the explosions, as well as any casualties or damage, remains unknown.
