Unverified reports indicate the Kangan port near Sirik in southern Iran has been destroyed, amid reports of missile launches from Iran toward the Strait of Hormuz. The reports are preliminary — no details on the number of missiles, possible interceptions, or the extent of the destruction at Kangan are yet available. The developments follow hours of explosions and military activity in the Bandar Abbas and Sirik areas, with the IRGC having previously threatened retaliation against US strikes.
Unverified reports from Iranian sources, cited by Arabic-language Telegram networks, claim that the Kangan port near Sirik in Hormozgan Province has been destroyed. The same networks report new missile launches from Iran toward the Strait of Hormuz, without specifying the number of missiles, targets, or whether any were intercepted. The reports follow an hours-long sequence of explosions and strikes across southern Iran's coastal area: earlier reports indicated blasts at Bandar Abbas port and the IRGC's Kangan naval base nearby, and a separate explosion near Sirik. As The Zioneer reported throughout the day, the US conducted strikes on IRGC naval infrastructure on June 9, triggering an IRGC pledge of imminent retaliation. The current reports, if confirmed, would represent a significant expansion of damage to Iranian port infrastructure and a new wave of Iranian launches at the strategic waterway. No independent confirmation is available, and casualty figures are not yet reported.
