Explosions were reportedly heard on Iran's Qeshm Island, located in the Strait of Hormuz, and in the port city of Jask, also situated on the strait. State news agency IRNA and the Fars agency, described as a mouthpiece for Iran's Revolutionary Guards, reported the incidents. The reports could not be independently confirmed, and the cause of the alleged explosions remains unclear. Observers have previously speculated about potential attacks on Iran by the United States and Israel following US midterm elections. The article mentions that the two countries began a war against Iran in late February, conducting extensive aerial bombardments, and that the conflict remains unresolved with negotiations stalled for months. A framework agreement reached in June between Tehran and Washington, intended to pave the way for a lasting diplomatic solution, has not yielded the desired outcome. The Strait of Hormuz, crucial for global oil trade, has recently been a focal point of the conflict.
