Iranian state-linked media outlet Tasnim is reporting that two explosions heard near Qeshm Island a short time ago were the result of Iranian forces engaging what it described as "hostile enemy targets" near the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz. According to social media reports, the targets were two commercial vessels transiting outbound through the Strait using the U.S.-established safe route via Omani waters, rather than Iran's designated traffic separation scheme.
