Summary
Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported that two missiles hit Qeshm Island near the Strait of Hormuz on November 6-7, 2026, and local witnesses cited by IRNA said the projectiles landed in the Suza area after an aircraft was heard overhead. No official information on damage was released, and the reports do not confirm the cause. Tasnim has not confirmed the reports. Explosions were heard in Qeshm and Bandar Khamir, but their origin remained unclear. Iranian media said air defenses shot down a US MQ-1 drone over Qeshm, while US Central Command described the area as relatively calm. The US did not immediately confirm the strikes, and President Trump described US action on Iran as 'minor strikes' targeting an anti-aircraft device.
