U.S. strikes Iran's Qeshm Island in Strait of Hormuz

thehindu.com [$] —

The United States struck Iran's Qeshm Island, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing U.S. officials, marking the latest in a series of limited, secretive attacks amid ongoing tensions. The island, located on the Strait of Hormuz, experienced several explosions, according to state media outlet IRNA. The strikes were deliberately kept small-scale and hidden to avoid signaling a resumption of a major military campaign, the report said. Earlier Monday, President Donald Trump denied considering strikes after Tuesday's midterm elections and suggested a deal with Tehran was possible. Washington and Iran have been at war since February 28.
