Unnamed ‘enemy’ strikes southern province, Iran claims

Iranian official sources said Sirik in the southern province of Hormozgan was hit by “an enemy” strike, state news agency IRNA reported on Thursday.

IRNA said the strike was military in nature, without giving further details on damage or casualties.

Three sources with knowledge of the matter later confirmed to Reuters that Iran had attacked ship navigation systems on  Didamar.

There have been reports of renewed tensions between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir over restarting military action against Iran.

Following the meeting, the two issued a joint statement saying that Eisenkot had been briefed on the security and diplomatic challenges currently facing the State of Israel.
