Iran reports new explosions on Qeshm, Kish islands

Iranian media reported several explosions on Qeshm Island in southern Iran on Tuesday, as military escalation with the US continues to rage on.

The semi-official Fars news agency reported the blasts, without giving details about their cause.

Tasnim news agency also said an American projectile exploded near a water and power facility on Kish Island.

Tensions escalated between the US and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz in recent days, with the two sides exchanging attacks despite a Pakistani-mediated memorandum of understanding aimed at ending their conflict and reaching a lasting peace agreement.
