What's behind this
Iran's state media said officials have not confirmed any missile strikes on Iranian territory after blasts were heard in several areas, and Tehran suggested the explosions were not U.S. attacks. Meanwhile, both sides have continued striking vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, a pattern that is limiting the export of energy and other commodities important to the global economy.

Since the conflict began in late February, Tehran has severely restricted traffic through the waterway.
