Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported Saturday evening that the explosions heard in Bandar Abbas were apparently caused by warning shots from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) aimed at vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, and not by a US attack. The report comes from a single source and remains unverified. The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple unconfirmed incidents involving the IRGC in the strait over the past month, including claims of warning shots and exchanges with US vessels, none of which were independently corroborated.
