US Conducts Limited Strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island Amid Diplomatic Signals
The United States conducted a series of limited, covert strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island near the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing tensions. These operations, described by US officials as defensive measures to protect commercial shipping, were kept low-profile to avoid signaling a broader military campaign. The attacks followed multiple explosions reported on the island. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump downplayed the likelihood of renewed large-scale conflict and suggested a diplomatic deal with Tehran could be possible after the US midterm elections.
