Explosions hit multiple sites across Iran's southern coast

Explosions were reported in multiple locations across Iran, including Qeshm Island, Bandar Abbas, Sirik, and Jask Port, on Saturday evening, according to Iranian state media, though the source and nature of the blasts have not yet been confirmed. The explosions follow a US "minor strike" on Qeshm Island earlier Saturday, confirmed by President Donald Trump, and a similar limited strike on Monday. Iranian media suggested the latest blasts could be linked to Iranian military actions in the Strait of Hormuz. The US strikes were ordered in response to an IRGC missile attempt on an American aircraft, and CENTCOM reported a commercial vessel was disabled after violating a naval blockade. Iran has warned it would retaliate against US and Israeli targets in the region.
