US strikes on southern Iran widen overnight, with Sirik and Qeshm targeted as sirens sound across the Gulf
Explosions lit the Hormozgan coast before dawn, with sirens sounding from Bandar Abbas to the UAE-anchorage zone. The geography of the targets tells you what the operation is, and is not, about.

Desk note: the wire so far treats this as a strike campaign on Iran; Monexus has framed it, by necessity, as an operational read on Hormozgan Province specifically, because that is the level at which the Telegram-channel record is granular. Where the Gulf alert footprint is concerned, we have marked it as single-sourced pending a second channel or a GCC-state statement.
