US forces strike Iranian Island, Wall Street Journal reports
The United States has reportedly attacked Qeshm Island in Iran, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal, citing U.S. officials. Reuters corroborated the information from the Wall Street Journal regarding the U.S. attack.
Several explosions were reported on the island, located in the Strait of Hormuz, according to the Iranian state-run news agency IRNA.
The attack is the latest in a series of limited strikes carried out by Washington in recent weeks, the Wall Street Journal reported. The publication added that the attacks have been on a smaller scale and deliberately kept secret to avoid signaling an intention to resume a large-scale military campaign against Iran.
The U.S. Central Command has not yet responded to a request for comment.
Earlier on Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed doubts about whether he would fulfill a threat to resume military attacks against Iran, stating he “could reach a deal with Tehran.”
When asked by reporters if he was considering attacking Iran after Tuesday’s midterm elections, Trump responded “no.”
Reuters noted that Washington and Tehran have been at war since February 28th.
