  "account": "USA undertok new attacks on Iran, according to media reports. The Independent cited Iran's TV reporting explosions on Qeshm Island, a significant strategic outpost for Iran's military located off the southern coast of the country near the Hormuz Strait. Two aircraft were reportedly seen over Qeshm, according to IRNA, a state news agency. The Wall Street Journal quoted American officials confirming the US attack on Qeshm Island on Monday. This comes after President Donald Trump downplayed the possibility of resuming war with Iran following the midterm elections in the US on Tuesday, stating, \"We had a war with Iran. We won.\" US oil prices surged to $106.40 on Tuesday morning, marking an increase of more than two dollars since midnight, according to Infront data. Iran and the US are far from reaching an agreement on an accord to end the war, said a \"high-ranking Iranian official\" to Reuters on Tuesday. The US describes the attacks on Qeshm Island as \"defensive,\" and also reports that the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps claimed to have shot down an American MQ-9 drone in the airspace over the Hormuz Strait. Diplomatic talks between Iran and the US through intermediaries continue, while regional diplomatic meetings in the Middle East see Iran's Foreign Minister in talks with Saudi Arabia to prevent military escalation following the intensification of conflicts between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis over the past weeks, as reported by Saudi Arabia. Trump has previously indicated that the US could return to full-scale war with Iran after the midterm election, according to the Wall Street Journal.",
