Iranian authorities on Saturday said that no damage was sustained at the port of Sirik following US strikes on Iranian targets, despite reports of explosions in the area.

According to Iran’s semi-official Mehr news agency, the head of ports in eastern Hormozgan province said the port of Sirik remained fully operational and that no damage had been inflicted on its facilities or equipment.

The statement came after the United States launched fresh attacks on Iranian targets in response to an incident a day earlier in which a commercial cargo vessel was allegedly struck by an Iranian drone.

Mehr reported that explosions had been heard within the port premises earlier, but officials later confirmed that operations at the facility were continuing normally and that no infrastructure had been affected.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said that in response to US strikes, its navy “struck the locations where the terrorist US military is stationed in the region”. 

The ceasefire agreement gives Iran control over ship traffic in the strait, the Guards said.

“However, the United States, by provoking various fronts, sought to violate this commitment, and the necessary response was given and will continue to be given. If the aggression is repeated, our response will be broader than this,” the Revolutionary Guards said.
