news.ltn.com.tw (Chinese) —

After a major defeat in the US midterm elections, President Donald Trump announced a new limited US military strike on Iranian military targets on November 6. He stated that negotiations with Iran are still ongoing. The strike targeted Iranian air defense systems on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, which Trump said Iran had rebuilt. The operation lasted five to fifteen minutes, and Trump defended the action by claiming it prevented Iran from using nuclear weapons against Israel. Meanwhile, Iran is reviewing a Qatari proposal to ease tensions, which includes the US lifting a naval blockade and unfreezing assets in exchange for IAEA inspections. The US Central Command has also offered a $20 million reward for information on Iran's nuclear activities.
