Summary

The US reportedly carried out limited strikes on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, which US officials described as defensive, citing Iranian fire on American aircraft or assets. Whether the strikes occurred is disputed: US officials, Iranian state media and Fars News Agency reported them, but President Trump denied them. Residents of Qeshm and nearby areas, including Hengam and Bandar Abbas, reported hearing a series of explosions, with one account describing five consecutive blasts. Iran claims to have downed US drones over the same waters, which Washington rejects. Indirect talks mediated by Qatar are continuing, Iran has warned it could use new weapons if further strikes occur, and the US has gathered a naval force in the Arabian Sea.
