Summary
US forces struck an Iranian air defense site on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, which US officials said had been under observation during its construction and threatened American aircraft with surface-to-air missiles. President Trump acknowledged the strike and called it a limited, minor operation rather than a resumption of full-scale war. Iranian state media and IRNA reported missiles and multiple explosions on Qeshm, with some accounts citing up to five, and reported explosions on nearby islands and in Bandar Abbas. Accounts differ on the details of the target and the impact, and no official damage assessment has been released. Iran said it reserves the right to respond, while talks through Qatari and Pakistani mediators reportedly continue.
