Summary
US forces struck Iranian targets on Qeshm Island near the Strait of Hormuz on November 2, 2026. US officials described the strikes as limited and defensive, a response to Iranian surface-to-air missile fire aimed at US aircraft or forces; Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it downed US drones over the island and nearby waters, and Washington rejects Iran's account of the drone losses. Residents, Iranian state media and a witness reported explosions on Qeshm, Hengam and in Bandar Abbas. Two people were injured. The strikes came shortly before the US midterm elections, and mediation through Qatar continues. The strikes were not confirmed by The Wall Street Journal.
