Witnesses report missile launches from the Iranian city of Shiraz, likely targeting vessels in the Persian Gulf, according to an Arabic-language Telegram network. The report is preliminary and unverified; no details on the number of missiles, intercepts, or impacts are yet available. This comes amid ongoing clashes in the Strait of Hormuz, with the IRGC also claiming an attack on a US radar in Erbil, northern Iraq.
A preliminary report from an Arabic-language the source citing eyewitnesses describes missile launches from the Iranian city of Shiraz, with the apparent target being vessels in the Persian Gulf. The details remain unverified — including the number of missiles fired, the exact targets, and whether any interceptions or impacts occurred.
This report arrives amid an intensive period of kinetic exchanges around the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier Wednesday, The Zioneer reported explosions on Sirik Island near the strait, and Tasnim news agency confirmed that earlier blasts near Qeshm Island resulted from clashes in the strait rather than on the island itself. A separate Tasnim report noted explosions in Minab and Sirik while denying blasts on Qeshm or Kish.
Iranian sources have also reported separately that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked a US radar installation in Erbil, northern Iraq — another escalation in the regional engagement. A prior Zioneer bulletin covering the strait clashes included an IRGC-adjacent claim of downing a US MQ-9 Reaper drone, though without US confirmation.
The Shiraz launch report is single-source and unconfirmed at this stage. It is the latest addition to a sustained multi-day wave of explosion and launch reports across southern and central Iran, which the desk has been tracking since at least June 6.
