BREAKING: Explosions Rock Strategic Iranian Port City of Sirik
Sirik, Iran — Multiple powerful explosions shook the coastal city of Sirik in southern Iran near the Strait of Hormuz late Friday, according to state broadcaster IRIB and local reports.
Residents heard blasts in maritime and port areas, with some accounts pointing to strikes on coastal targets and a telecommunications tower.
U.S. military confirmed operations against Iranian infrastructure, reportedly in response to a drone attack on a cargo ship in the vital waterway.
No immediate casualty figures released. The port is said to be operating normally as tensions escalate in the Persian Gulf.
