Iranian media report a second explosion in recent hours near the port city of Sirik, an area targeted by US strikes a day earlier, according to Amir Segal (N12). The source of the blast is not yet clear.
A second explosion in recent hours was reported near the port city of Sirik in Hormozgan Province, southern Iran, at around 14:33 Jerusalem on Tuesday, according to Iranian media cited by Amir Segal (N12). The blast occurred in an area that was targeted by US strikes a day earlier. The source of the explosion remains unclear at this time.
This report follows an initial explosion near Sirik also reported by Iranian state media at 14:33 Jerusalem, which The Zioneer covered in a prior thread version published at that same time. The thread has since evolved through a series of blast reports across southern Iran over recent days. On June 10, an earlier bulletin at 00:42 Jerusalem documented six explosions in Qeshm, Sirik, and Minab. A background bulletin from June 10, 02:45 Jerusalem noted a further unverified blast near Sirik, while a report at 01:38 Jerusalem covered explosions at Iran's Gorgan port and another at 01:47 Jerusalem at Kangan port. The Zioneer also reported a second wave of US strikes at 02:18 Jerusalem on the same day, referencing a Hebrew-language security source.
As The Zioneer has previously tracked, the region has experienced sustained US strikes against air defenses and command centers across southern Iran, as well as multiple nights of explosions at military and port sites. The blasts have been attributed to US operations targeting Iranian terror infrastructure, though some reports remain unverified.
The source and nature of today's second explosion remain unconfirmed. Iranian media have not yet provided details on damage or casualties. The situation continues to develop.
