news.mail.ru (Russian) —

The Wall Street Journal reports that the US military secretly struck Iran's Qeshm Island, citing unnamed US officials, following reported explosions on the island. The strike allegedly occurred on Monday, with the newspaper claiming the US has conducted smaller-scale attacks on Iran for weeks. US authorities have not made official statements, and President Donald Trump denied considering a large-scale military operation. The US and Israel began strikes on Iran in February, leading to retaliatory attacks. A ceasefire memorandum was signed in June but later broken, leaving the conflict unresolved.
