Iranian official says U.S. strikes on Qeshm Island hit non-residential sites

A U.S. attack on areas of Qeshm Island targeted sites outside residential, commercial and service zones and caused no damage to the island's critical infrastructure, according to Ahmad Nafisi, Hormozgan province's deputy governor for political, security and social affairs.

Nafisi said the situation on Qeshm Island is under control and that all emergency, service and executive agencies are on full alert. His remarks came after four explosions were heard on Qeshm Island on Sunday evening.

The official's statement described the targeted locations as lying outside the zones used for housing, commerce and public services, and said the island's critical infrastructure was unaffected. He did not provide further details on the specific sites struck or on any casualties.

Qeshm Island, located in the Strait of Hormuz area off Iran's southern coast, is administered within Hormozgan province. The reported strikes come amid heightened tensions involving Iran and the United States.

According to Mehr News, the deputy governor's comments followed the four explosions heard on the island on Sunday evening, and he stated that the situation there was under control with emergency and service agencies on full alert.
