BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 9. No casualties
were reported as a result of U.S. military airstrikes on Qeshm
Island in Hormozgan Province, located in southern Iran.
According to the Hormozgan Provincial Administration, this was
stated by Ahmad Nafisi, Political, Security and Social Deputy
Governor of Hormozgan Province.
“The area attacked by the US military on Qeshm Island was
located outside residential and commercial zones, as well as
service infrastructure. The attack caused no damage to critical or
service infrastructure,” he noted.
Nafisi added that the situation on Qeshm Island is under
control, and all rescue, service, and law enforcement agencies have
been placed on full alert.
Meanwhile, four explosions were heard last night on the Iranian
island of Qeshm.
The latest escalation in US-Iran relations began on July 8. On
that day, the US Armed Forces launched several waves of strikes on
Iranian territory for the first time since the memorandum was
signed between Washington and Tehran, citing a response to an
attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.
That same day, US President Donald Trump announced the
termination of the ceasefire with Iran. In response, Tehran began
striking US facilities in Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE,
and Oman.
The conflict has brought maritime trade through the Strait of
Hormuz to a standstill.
