Fars News: "Iranian Military Launches Missile Aimed at Specific Target in the South"

The Iranian military launched a missile toward a specific target in the southern region, according to a report by Iran's Fars News Agency on May 28 (local time).

Fars News Agency reported that military authorities fired a missile in the southern region aimed at a particular target, although the exact objective has not yet been confirmed. Some sources have also raised the possibility that an armed clash may have occurred in the Persian Gulf.

Previously, there were also reports of explosions being heard in Bushehr and Hormozgan provinces in Iran. However, Fars News Agency stated that, according to on-site verification, no explosions have been confirmed in those areas as of now.

Tasnim News Agency, citing a report from the air defense forces, stated that the origin of the explosion sounds was identified as the sea. The report explained that the explosions occurred during warning shots fired at a vessel attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz without authorization.

This latest tension has arisen amid final negotiations between the United States and Iran for the signing of a memorandum of understanding to end hostilities.

Previously, after the Iranian military launched a suicide drone toward a ship near the Strait of Hormuz, the United States scrambled fighter jets to shoot it down and reportedly struck the drone control facility in Bandar Abbas, Iran.

In response to the U.S. airstrike, Iran attempted to attack Kuwait—where a U.S. military base is located—with ballistic missiles, but it is known that the Kuwaiti military intercepted them.
