Explosions Reported on Qeshm Island Near Hormuz After Reported Confrontation With 'Enemy Targets'

Two explosions were reported on Iran's Qeshm Island following what Iranian state media described as a confrontation between Iranian armed forces and 'hostile enemy targets' near the Strait of Hormuz. However, Hormozgan province's deputy governor denied any strike had occurred on Qeshm Island or in provincial capital Bandar Abbas. Authorities said they were investigating the cause. No group has claimed responsibility and the incident remains unconfirmed.
