Qeshm:Tehran No casualties have been reported following U.S. military airstrikes on Qeshm Island, located in Hormozgan Province in southern Iran.

According to Trend News Agency, Ahmad Nafisi, the Political, Security, and Social Deputy Governor of Hormozgan Province, confirmed that the U.S. military targeted an area on Qeshm Island that was outside residential, commercial, and service infrastructure zones. As a result, there was no damage to critical or service infrastructure.

Nafisi stated that the situation on Qeshm Island is under control, with all rescue, service, and law enforcement agencies placed on full alert. Despite this, four explosions were heard last night on the island.

The escalation in US-Iran relations began on July 8, when the US Armed Forces launched multiple airstrikes on Iranian territory in response to an attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. This marked the first military action since a memorandum was signed between Washington and Tehran. Subsequently, US President Donald Trump announced the termination of the ceasefire with Iran, prompting Tehran to strike US facilities in several Middle Eastern countries.

The ongoing conflict has severely impacted maritime trade through the Strait of Hormuz, bringing it to a halt.
