Mehr: Explosions heard near Iran's Strait of Hormuz
27 June 2026 09:01
Explosions were reported on Iran's southern coast near the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, according to Iran's Mehr News Agency.
The agency said the blast occurred after a projectile struck the area around one of the piers in the port city of Sirik, which lies along the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian authorities have not immediately provided details on casualties or damage.
The reports come amid heightened tensions in the region following earlier claims by journalist Barak Ravid of Axios and Israel's Channel 12 that the U.S. military had carried out strikes against targets linked to Iran in the vicinity of the Strait of Hormuz.
