Iranian media and local officials reported a widening series of U.S. strikes across southern Iran on Tuesday evening, with confirmed impacts in the Chabahar-Konarak area and additional, less firmly established reports emerging from Hormozgan province.
The clearest confirmation came from Sistan and Baluchestan. At around 20:30 local time, Ali Khalilabadi, deputy governor of the province, said that four projectiles had struck locations in the counties of Chabahar and Konarak. Iranian authorities said assessments of possible casualties and damage were still under way.
Tasnim News Agency also reported multiple explosions in the broader Konarak area, while separate Iranian reports referred to explosions along the southern coast of Qeshm Island. At this stage, however, Iranian authorities have not publicly provided a detailed list of military installations or other sites that may have been targeted.
Further reports from Hormozgan require greater caution.
Iranian media citing the Young Journalists Club said that a fishmeal factory on Qeshm Island, as well as a fishing pier and a Ports Administration tower in Sirik, may have been hit. These claims had not been independently confirmed by senior provincial authorities, IRNA or other major Iranian state institutions at the time of publication.
Tasnim also referred to unofficial reports of an explosion at Qeshm airport. The agency itself presented the information as unconfirmed, and there was no immediate official statement establishing that the airport had been struck.
Other Iranian reporting mentioned explosions or possible strike activity around Bandar Abbas, Sirik and Jask, suggesting that the operation may have covered a broad stretch of Iran's southern coastline. The precise targets and extent of any damage in these locations remain unclear.
Iran's Press TV, cited by the Iranian outlet Entekhab, also relayed a claim attributed to unnamed U.S. officials that the number of strikes during the operation could reach 100. No independent confirmation of that figure was available, and it should therefore be treated as an unverified estimate rather than an established fact.
