Explosions Reported on Iran's Qeshm Island and Port of Jask
Explosions were heard Saturday on Iran's Qeshm Island and the southern port of Jask, according to Iranian media, with the cause unclear and no official confirmation from Iranian authorities. Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported two missiles struck Qeshm Island, but no official information on possible damage was available. The incident follows US strikes on the island days earlier, which a US official described as limited and not a resumption of major combat operations. The reported explosions come amid regional anticipation that US President Donald Trump, who held off on strikes before Tuesday's midterm elections, could restart attacks. Iran has repeatedly threatened to respond to new attacks by striking US and Israeli targets in neighboring countries.
