US strikes Iran's Qeshm Island after missile attack on American aircraft

bangla.bdnews24.com (Bengali) —

The United States military conducted a limited attack on Iran's Qeshm Island on Monday, according to three US officials who described the strike as defensive in nature and aimed at protecting American assets in the region. The attack was a response to Iran firing a missile at a US aircraft, officials said, and is not considered part of a larger military operation. The Wall Street Journal first reported the strike, noting that previous similar actions had been carried out covertly. The new action, occurring the day before the US midterm elections, highlights that the situation with Iran remains unresolved and could escalate into renewed conflict at any time.
