  "summary": "Four explosions were reported on Qeshm Island, Iran, on Sunday evening, according to Iranian state media outlet IRNA. The source and nature of the explosions have not yet been confirmed, though some areas of the island appear to have been struck by projectiles. This incident comes after explosions were also heard on Qeshm Island on Saturday evening, as well as in Sirik, Bandar Abbas, and Jask Port. US President Donald Trump confirmed that the US conducted a \"minor strike\" on Qeshm Island on Saturday evening, stating that it was in response to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attempting to target an American aircraft with a missile launched from the island. Trump emphasized that the US is highly unlikely to return to full-blown war with Iran if progress is made in ongoing indirect negotiations.",
