❗️️️️️️️US launches new strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island amid ongoing diplomatic talks The US military carried out limited strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island near the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, three US officials told CNN, describing the operation as a so-called “defensive measure” following reported Iranian fire against a US aircraft. Iranian state media reported several explosions on the island early Tuesday, with blasts also heard in nearby Hengam Island and Bandar Abbas. The attack comes as Washington and Tehran continue negotiations, while President Donald Trump renewed threats to strike Iran’s underground nuclear facilities. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that Tehran’s response to further military action would be “unpredictable.”
