US strikes Iran's Qeshm Island before midterm elections, US media reports

US media reports claim the US military struck Iran's Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, an attack that occurred ahead of the US midterm elections. The strike was reportedly in response to an Iranian missile attack on a US aircraft. Fox News and The Wall Street Journal reported the target was hit, while President Donald Trump said on Monday he is in no rush to escalate attacks on Iran. An American official told Axios that Iran's Revolutionary Guard fired a missile at a US plane from Qeshm, prompting a US fighter jet to destroy the missile launcher in self-defense. Trump stated the US will act but without haste, claiming Iran is economically weakened and its people are exhausted. He declined to say whether new attacks would begin after the midterm elections.
