The United States struck Iran's Qeshm Island, according to the Wall Street Journal, citing US officials, following explosions reported on the island in the Strait of Hormuz. The attack is part of a series of limited, secretive US strikes in recent weeks, deliberately kept small-scale to avoid signaling a resumption of the major military campaign against Iran, the Journal reported. Diplomatic efforts to end the US-Iran war intensified Monday, with Tehran offering to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days if conditions are met, while Qatar and China push for a political solution.
