Explosions were heard near the southern coast of Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, according to Iranian media reports.
The blasts occurred close to the village of Mesen, raising immediate concerns about the security of one of the world's most critical maritime transit routes.
The IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency claimed that two US missiles caused the explosions.
This assertion has not been independently verified, and no official confirmation from US military or diplomatic sources has emerged.
The lack of corroboration leaves the incident's origin and intent unclear, though the location underscores the persistent volatility in the region.
The Strait of Hormuz remains a focal point for global energy markets, with approximately one-fifth of the world's oil supply passing through the narrow waterway.
