The announcement came after reports of a boat fire in the maritime areas off Sirik and Jask counties sparked speculation about a possible enemy attack.

Follow-up inquiries by Tasnim with the Hormozgan Governorate shed further light on the incident.

According to the findings, the vessel caught fire as a result of a natural incident, with no connection to an attack by the aggressor enemy.

The governorate thus dismissed initial speculation that the boat had been targeted.
