Less than a day after Donald Trump and Iran agreed to a ceasefire,explosions have been reported on Lavan Island in Iran.
The island is one of the major terminals in Iran for the export of crude oil,and is further south in the Persian Gulf.
The explosion was reported this morning by Iranian media and has since been confirmed by other media outlets in the region.
‘This morning,after the ceasefire was established,several explosions occurred at the Lavan Island refinery. The source of these explosions is not yet known,’ Mehr agency reported.
Other explosions were reported at Sirri Island this morning,which is closer to the Strait of Hormuz.
