Summary

US forces conducted limited strikes on Iranian targets on Qeshm Island and in the Strait of Hormuz, reported on November 2-3, 2026. A US official and President Trump described the strikes as defensive, saying Iran had fired surface-to-air missiles at US aircraft and assets and that an air defense site on Qeshm had been under construction for about two months. Iranian state media and IRNA reported several explosions on Qeshm, Hengam and in the Bandar Abbas area. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister called the strikes an exercise of self-defense. The strikes were not publicly disclosed in advance, and diplomatic talks between Washington and Tehran are continuing.
