Summary
US forces carried out limited strikes on Iranian targets on Qeshm Island, near the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state media reported two missiles hitting the island and explosions heard in the Suza area, while witnesses described aircraft overhead before the blasts. US President Donald Trump said the strikes destroyed an Iranian air defense installation; US Central Command acknowledged the reports but gave no further details, and the strikes were not confirmed by a CENTCOM official. Iranian officials said the sites hit were outside residential and commercial areas and that no vital infrastructure or services were damaged; the extent of damage remains unclear. Iranian military officials claimed an American MQ-9 drone was downed over Qeshm, a claim US officials had not verified. Accounts differ on the sequence and purpose of the strikes, which the US described as defensive and limited.
