Conflicting reports emerge after explosions near Bandar Abbas

May 25, 2026, 22:26 GMT+1

Conflicting reports emerged from southern Iran on Monday after explosions were reported east of Bandar Abbas, a key port city overlooking the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian outlet Tabnak reported that the runway at Bandar Abbas airport had been struck by a missile, though no official confirmation was immediately issued.

Shortly afterward, Iran’s Mehr News Agency said the situation in Bandar Abbas was “under control” and there was “no cause for concern” following the explosions.

No further details on the cause or extent of the reported incident were immediately available.
