AIExplosions were heard in the city of Sirik in southern Iran early Monday, coinciding with reports of Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iranian state television.
The broadcaster said the blasts in Sirik may be linked to Iranian operations in the Strait of Hormuz, but gave no further details about the nature of the attacks or their intended targets.
The developments follow a statement from a US official on Sunday that American forces struck two missile launchers belonging to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Larak Island in southern Iran.
The Revolutionary Guard had vowed to retaliate for the strike on the island, saying the US attack killed and wounded several fighters and civilians, without providing specific figures. The Guard warned that the United States would pay a price for the attack "economically and militarily."
