On Tuesday evening, an Iranian official reported the impact of four munitions in the southeastern cities of Chabahar and Konarak, attributed to new U.S. airstrikes on Iran. Authorities have since begun investigating the extent of the damage caused.
Ali Khalil Abadi, Deputy Governor of Sistan and Baluchistan Province, informed the official Iranian news agency "IRNA" that the cities of Chabahar and Konarak in southeastern Iran were struck by these munitions.
Inspection and verification processes are ongoing to assess potential damage, with no immediate details provided on casualties or the specific nature of targeted sites.
The announcement follows Iranian media reports of explosions heard across the southern and southeastern regions of the country, coinciding with a statement from the U.S. Central Command "CENTCOM" about launching new attacks on targets associated with Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
Regions where explosions were reportedly heard include the vicinity of Qeshm Island and the cities of Bandar Abbas and Sirik in Hormozgan Province, as well as Chabahar and Konarak in Sistan and Baluchistan Province.
Reports covering multiple areas where explosions were heard indicate that the new round of strikes affected several sites in southern Iran, amid escalating tensions once again between Washington and Tehran.
These developments follow months of confrontations that began on February 28, 2026, when the United States and Israel launched a war on Iran, which included closing the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial chokepoint for global energy exports and trade.
At the time, Tehran retaliated with attacks on Gulf states and what it claimed were American and Israeli targets in the region, leading to a ceasefire agreement.
On June 18, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding to cease hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz to navigation. However, implementation stalled due to disputes over application mechanisms and security for the waterway.
Hostilities resumed in July, and on Tuesday, the U.S. Central Command announced the resumption of operations against targets inside Iran, marking a new phase in the confrontation as fears rise over a potential escalation of military tensions in the region.
