UPDATE 1-Explosions heard in Iran's Qeshm island due to disposal of enemy ammunition

​Explosions were heard ‌in Iran's Qeshm ​island on Tuesday due to the ‌neutralization of unexploded enemy ammunition, the semi-official Iranian Tasnim news agency said, citing a local ‌official.

The country's Mehr news agency had ‌earlier reported the sound of explosions, saying the cause was unknown. U.S. President Donald Trump said ⁠on ​Monday he ⁠had paused a planned resumption of attacks on ⁠Iran after Tehran sent a new peace proposal ​to Washington, and that there was ⁠now a "very good chance" of reaching a deal ⁠limiting ​Iran's nuclear programme.

Reuters could not determine whether preparations had been made for ⁠strikes that would mark a renewal of ⁠the ⁠war the U.S. and Israel started on February 28.
