The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that the United States launched an attack on Iran's Qeshm Island, which lies within the Strait of Hormuz. This follows several explosions reported on the island by state media outlet IRNA. The latest in a series of limited strikes by Washington in recent weeks, the attack was aimed at being subtle and not signaling an intent to resume a major military campaign against Iran.
The US Central Command was unable to comment on the reported strike. Earlier, President Donald Trump expressed uncertainty about whether he would proceed with resuming military strikes against Iran, suggesting a potential deal with Tehran could occur. When asked if he was contemplating an attack following the midterm elections, Trump stated "no." The ongoing conflict between Washington and Tehran began on February 28.
