Explosions rocked parts of Iran through the day on July 14 as the US military continued to hit targets inside Iran to help secure the Strait of Hormuz as Tehran launched missiles around the Gulf just hours after President Donald Trump said he was reinstating a blockade of the key waterway.
Iranian state media reported that five explosions were heard around the port city of Bandar Abbas, near the Strait of Hormuz, which has been at the center of renewed fighting between the United States and Iran, while the port city of Bushehr, home to Iran’s sole nuclear power plant, also came under attack.
Blasts were also reported on several islands off of Iran’s southern coast, including Kish, Qeshm, and Abu Musa.
Jordan and Bahrain said they had intercepted barrages of Iranian ballistic missiles and the United Arab Emirates reported attacks on vessels in the strait that left one crew member dead and at least eight others wounded.
