Iran state TV reports explosions on island in Hormuz Strait

Iranian state TV reported explosions on an island in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, saying they occurred during an "exchange of fire."

"The explosions at the Bahman pier on Qeshm Island occurred during an exchange of fire between Iranian armed forces and the enemy," the broadcaster IRIB reported.

Other Iranian news outlets also reported the blasts, while the Israeli military told AFP it was "not aware of such" a strike.
