During the night from Friday to Saturday, Iranian state television again reported two explosions on Qeshm Island. The Tasnim agency, for its part, mentioned two missiles that would have struck it.
Tehran highlights a strengthening of its capabilities and its alert level, while Washington communicates both about limited strikes and about a bounty linked to the Iranian nuclear program.
Without confirming these shots, the Iranian army, cited by Iranian media, said shortly afterward that it had destroyed a U.S. military drone on this island located in the Strait of Hormuz.
Qeshm Island, off the Strait of Hormuz, remains a sensitive point for maritime traffic and military tensions.
No human toll nor independent confirmation of the Qeshm explosions was available in the information provided.
On Friday, the U.S. military announced it was offering a reward of $20 million"and a possible relocation"to anyone providing it with information on the Iranian nuclear program. The U.S. president again declared Friday evening:"We are carrying out minor strikes,"without specifying whether he was talking about new attacks or those from the beginning of the week.
