US Strike Targets Iran's Qeshm Island in Strait of Hormuz

usnews.com —

The United States struck Iran's Qeshm Island, according to a Wall Street Journal report citing US officials, following explosions on the island located in the Strait of Hormuz. The strike is part of a series of limited, deliberately secret US attacks in recent weeks, intended to avoid signaling a resumption of a major military campaign against Iran. US Central Command did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Earlier Monday, President Donald Trump said he was not considering striking Iran after Tuesday's midterm elections and suggested a deal with Tehran could happen. Washington and Tehran have been at war since February 28.
