Reports from the Iranian news agency Tasnim, cited by Israeli journalist Sapir Lipkin (N12), describe two explosions on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. The explosions are attributed to an operation against hostile targets at the entrance to the strategic waterway, according to the reports.
The report follows an earlier unverified report at 21:49 Jerusalem of explosions in Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Island, as covered by The Zioneer. The Strait of Hormuz has been a focal point of ongoing military exchanges between the United States and Iran throughout July 2026, with multiple rounds of strikes reported on Qeshm Island and the surrounding area.
The source of tonight's operation and any damage or casualties have not yet been independently confirmed.
