Two explosions were reported at the entrance of the Hormuz Strait in southern Iran. Iranian officials stated that the blasts occurred during an operation targeting hostile forces in the area.
According to the semi-official Tasnim News Agency, the explosions were heard on the night of August 6 near Qeshm Island in the Hormuz Strait.
Local sources indicated that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was conducting an operation to neutralize targets deemed hostile at the entrance of the strait.
However, Iranian authorities did not disclose what specific targets were engaged. It remains unclear whether the operation involved ships, aircraft, or drones, and there has been no information regarding casualties or damage to facilities.
Iran plans to announce further details about the operation in the future.
The explosions occurred amid discussions between Iran and Oman regarding new shipping routes and management practices in the Hormuz Strait.
