Multiple blasts erupted in southern Iran and adjacent shipping lanes on September 26 during what local sources describe as a serious naval conflict. Reports indicate that anti-ship cruise missiles launched from Sirik struck as many as 4 ships in the Strait of Hormuz, with at least one vessel confirmed hit.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy is operating speedboats in the area as the engagement continues. Large explosions were reported both in the waterway and in Sirik, southern Iran, as regional sources track the naval skirmish.
