Tehran: Two explosions were heard on Iran’s southern Qeshm Island in Hormozgan province Thursday, August 6, as a result of the Iranian armed forces’ confrontation with “hostile enemy targets” at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported. Tasnim cited informed sources as saying that the explosions were heard at around 21:40 local time (1810 GMT), adding that the “achievements” of the Iranian naval forces’ confrontation will be announced in the coming hours. He added that the relevant authorities are carrying out the necessary investigations to identify the cause of the explosions. Vessels entering the strait will use a route close to Iran, while those leaving will take one close to Oman. Indirect contacts between Iran and the United States remain through mediators and have entered their final stage, the sources added.
