US carries out limited strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island
The US military carried out defensive strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, according to multiple reports.
The US military conducted limited strikes against Iranian targets on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, US officials told multiple outlets. Iranian state media reported several explosions on the island. US officials described the strikes as defensive, aimed at targeting surface-to-air missiles being used against American assets, and said they were not a resumption of major combat operations. The attacks came as part of a series of smaller-scale strikes Washington has secretly carried out in recent weeks. Officials said the US kept the campaign quiet to avoid signalling an intent to resume large-scale military operations. The strikes occurred hours before the US midterm elections and as Trump administration officials signalled progress in ongoing negotiations with Iran.
