US Conducts Limited Strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island Amid Diplomatic Talks
The United States conducted limited military strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island near the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing tensions and diplomatic efforts.

President Donald Trump downplayed the likelihood of renewed large-scale conflict after the US midterm elections, while signaling that a diplomatic deal with Tehran remains possible. Iran warned it would respond forcefully to further attacks, and the situation continues to affect regional security and global oil markets.
