US strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island last week caused no damage to residential or commercial areas or vital infrastructure, Anadolu reports citing an Iranian provincial official.

Ahmad Nafisi, the deputy governor of the southern Hormozgan province for political, security and social affairs, says the targeted sites were located away from residential and commercial areas, according to the semi-official Fars News Agency.

“The targeted sites were outside residential and commercial areas and public service infrastructure, and no damage was caused to the island’s vital infrastructure or essential services,” Nafisi says, adding that the situation on Qeshm Island is under control, with emergency services, public utilities and administrative agencies remaining on high alert.

Nafisi has not identified the targeted sites or provided details on possible casualties.
