The United States reportedly carried out limited strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island, located near the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, according to US officials cited by Reuters. One official described the operation as defensive action against Iranian forces allegedly using surface-to-air missiles against US assets.
Iranian state media also reported explosions on the island. US officials indicated that the operation was limited in scope and did not necessarily signal a return to large-scale military operations. Details regarding casualties or the extent of damage were not available in the report.
The development comes as diplomatic efforts involving Iran and regional mediators continue. Markets are closely watching the situation because any further escalation could disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, an important route for global oil supplies.
