Disputed · Qeshm, Iran ·
Multiple outlets report explosions or explosion-like sounds heard on Qeshm Island in Hormozgan province on the evening of 7 November 2026, with some also reporting sounds in Jask, Sirik and Bandar Abbas. Iranian state media (IRNA, IRIB, Fars) say the cause is unclear or unknown, and some reports describe the explosions as originating in the eastern side of the island. Tabz Live, TPOnow and MintPress attribute strikes on Qeshm or Jask to the US, while Tasnim says the explosions are not related to US strikes but to incidents in the Strait of Hormuz. No official confirmation of either account appears in the claims.

Verification
Disputed: 9 independent sources.
Verification describes the available evidence, not certainty that an event occurred.
Sources contradict each other about whether it happened, where, or what it was. That does not make it false, and it does not mean either side is right.
Sources disagree on:
- Tasnim says the explosions in Qeshm are not related to US strikes but to incidents within the Strait of Hormuz, while Tabz Live, TPOnow and MintPress report US strikes on Qeshm or Jask.
What we know and what remains unclear
Each detail the reports give, by how many independent origins reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. Confidence in the event is not confidence in each detail. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
