US carries out strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island

The US military carried out limited strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, according to multiple US officials. The strikes were described as defensive and targeted Iranian surface-to-air missile systems. Iranian state media reported several explosions on the island in rapid succession, with witnesses reporting two aircraft overhead. The operation came after the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps allegedly fired at a US aircraft in the Strait. US officials said the strikes were kept secret to avoid signalling a return to major combat operations. The attack occurred on the eve of US midterm elections, as President Trump and Vice President JD Vance signalled progress in diplomatic negotiations with Tehran to end the conflict that began in February.
