An explosion heard in Bushehr, Iran, was the result of air defenses engaging a target, according to Bushehr Province Deputy Governor Ehsan Jahanian. The IRNA news agency reported that a military base near Bushehr was attacked by the US and Israel. Blasts were also reported in Konarak and Choghadak.
US strikes on the Iranian port city of Sirik have resulted in at least three deaths and 15 injuries, according to Mehr news agency citing local authorities. Earlier reports indicated explosions in several other Iranian port cities and provinces.
The US military conducted strikes on Iran for a second consecutive day, targeting locations including Bandar Abbas and Bushehr province. President Trump stated the action was retaliation for Iran's earlier bombing of ships. The escalation follows an interim agreement to end a war, which Trump declared "over".
