The Iranian island of Qeshm was hit by "American missiles" in several attacks in the early evening, according to the Hormozgan provincial government. The information was released by the Iranian agencies Fars and Tasnim.
The Bandar Abbas region, on the Iranian coast of the Strait of Hormuz, was also the target of an "aerial aggression by the American enemy", reported Iran's state television. According to local authorities cited by the broadcaster, there were no reports of deaths or injuries in the attacks.
The bombings take place amid the escalation of the confrontation between the United States and Iran, which have returned to exchanging attacks in recent days. More than 30 civilians have died since clashes resumed, according to the Iranian government.
Earlier this Thursday, Iran threatened to increase attacks in the Middle East if Donald Trump's promise to attack the country's energy plants is fulfilled. The Iranian army spokesman made the threats in a statement posted on Telegram.
"Much of the capabilities of the armed forces have not yet been demonstrated," he said. According to him, all responses will be "proportionate" and "exceed the enemy's expectations."
