Iranian media have reported that “enemy” projectiles hit areas near Sirik, as the broader Iran–US conflict continues to escalate.

The reports, carried by Al Jazeera Global News, do not identify who launched the projectiles or provide details about the precise locations affected, casualties or damage. No independent verification of the reported impacts has been provided.

Tehran said it was ready to hold dialogue with nations across the region to foster mutual trust and achieve sustainable security. The statement records Iran’s stated position, but does not indicate that negotiations have begun.
