Summary

US officials say the US carried out limited 'defensive' strikes on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz in response to Iranian fire at US aircraft or assets; President Trump denies the strikes took place. Iranian outlets Tasnim, Fars and state media report missiles hitting Qeshm and several explosions there, with Tasnim saying the claim is not confirmed; a witness reported five consecutive explosions on the island, and explosions were also reported in Bandar Khamir. Reports say Iran claimed it downed US drones, which Washington rejects. No official information on damage has been released, and the origin of the reported missiles is not detailed. Mediation by Qatar and indirect talks on a deal are reported to be continuing.
