Iran's state news agency IRNA says Sirik, in southern Hormozgan province near the Strait of Hormuz, has been hit by an 'enemy' attack that it describes as military in nature.
IRNA, citing official sources, gave no details of damage, casualties or who carried out the attack, according to reports of its statement on Thursday 12 November by Arab News, Middle East Eye and the Jerusalem Post.
Earlier, Fars News Agency, which is affiliated with the IRGC, reported that residents of Sirik had heard several explosions in recent hours. It said the cause was unclear and that some sources suggested warning shots toward 'violating ships', according to Iran International.
There has been no confirmation or claim of responsibility from the US, CENTCOM or Israel. Iran's account has not been independently checked.
The report follows CENTCOM's description as 'speculation' of reports that it told Israel to prepare for renewed war with Iran. Iran has also claimed an attack on navigation systems on Oman's Didamar island.
