U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced the commencement of a series of military strikes against Iranian targets, describing the operation as a "decisive response" to recent Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Washington characterized these actions as a serious violation of the ceasefire and a direct assault on the safety of civilian crews.
Concurrent with this announcement, local Iranian sources reported hearing powerful explosions in critical areas across the country's south, including the city of Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, and the city of Sirik.
Preliminary assessments suggest that the explosions heard in Bandar Abbas may have resulted from strikes targeting sites in the vicinity of the Strait of Hormuz.
As of now, there has been no official statement from Iranian authorities or the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) regarding these developments or the nature of the targets struck.
