The broadcaster also said that at least seven explosions were heard near Sirik Port, another key strategic location that overlooks the Strait of Hormuz and is considered important to Iran’s authority over the maritime passage.
The reported incidents come amid continued limited confrontations and periodic escalation in the Strait of Hormuz following the signing of the memorandum of understanding (MoU), according to the report.
