Iranian official says US attacked fishing boats off Qeshm Island, state media reports

Iranian state broadcaster IRIB, citing an official from Hormozgan province, said on Saturday that the U.S. attacked two fishing boats near Qeshm Island. The report said one fisherman was wounded, while there was no immediate confirmation from U.S. authorities. Requests for comment were not immediately answered by the White House or the Pentagon. The incident was reported amid heightened tensions, with local Iranian officials saying the attack caused the injury. IRIB added that Iran’s Supreme Leader has ordered the armed forces to respond immediately and without “geographic limits” to any enemy threat. The report underscores that regional security risks remain even as diplomacy continues.
