Qeshm Island in southern Iran was bombed again in the last hour, according to reports. Israeli sources told journalist Yair Goldblatt (301 — The Arab World) that Israel is not participating in the strikes. The source and scale of the bombing have not been independently verified.
A fresh wave of explosions was reported on Qeshm Island around 22:15 UTC, following hours of intermittent blasts across southern Iran. Israeli officials explicitly denied involvement in these strikes, per Yair Goldblatt (301 — The Arab World), drawing a clear line between Israel's posture and the ongoing campaign.
This pattern mirrors earlier strikes late on June 9 and throughout June 10: multiple waves of attacks on strategic islands (Qeshm, Hengam) and military infrastructure, attributed by Israeli analysts to U.S. forces. The desk first reported on the strikes at 00:23 UTC June 10, and has tracked five successive waves since. By 21:40 UTC, IRIB confirmed renewed explosions on Qeshm, and earlier versions confirmed strikes on a petrochemical plant in Asaluyeh. The thread shows a progression from unverified reports to state-media acknowledgment, and now to an explicit Israeli denial of involvement — consistent with the pattern seen in earlier updates, where military correspondent Or Heller stated the IDF is not involved and the U.S. is leading the incident.
Iran has denied some earlier blasts and acknowledged others, while remaining unusually silent on missile launches from its territory. As The Zioneer reported on June 10, the governor of Qeshm Island denied explosions there earlier in the day; later, state media confirmed them. A source on June 9, 23:20 UTC, reported Israel had not yet joined strikes, and U.S. assessments predicted an Iranian attack on Gulf states, not Israel.
The perpetrator of the latest bombing remains unconfirmed; Israel's denial — previously stated by Or Heller about Hengam — reinforces the assessment that the United States is leading the operation. No independent confirmation of the source or scale of the new blasts has been received.
