Reports of military activity have emerged from southern Iran, with residents in the city of Ahvaz, located in Khuzestan province, reporting a series of blasts. While details regarding the nature of the explosions in Ahvaz remain limited, authorities have provided more specific information regarding an incident on Qeshm Island.

According to the Director General of Crisis Management for the Hormozgan Governorate, a residential home housing a family of five was struck during what local officials describe as a U.S. attack. Emergency responders are currently conducting search and rescue operations at the site. Two children have been recovered from the debris and transported to local medical facilities for treatment. Efforts to locate other potential victims remain ongoing.

There is currently no official confirmation from the United States government regarding military operations in these specific locations. The reports from Middle East Eye rely on statements from Iranian provincial officials, and independent verification of the cause of the explosions or the origin of the strike has not yet been provided by international observers or U.S. military spokespeople.
