No major news source or really anyone has validated this. Same quote being run mostly in Iranian publications. No verification. US denies it.

Qeshm Island Has 150,000 people on the entire island. It doesn’t make a lot of sense unless something errant hit it or it’s damaged by a close by hit?? It’s not on mainland Iran.
