Summary

The United States carried out limited strikes on Qeshm Island, near the Strait of Hormuz, in early November 2026, targeting Iranian surface-to-air missile sites that the US said had been used against American assets. US President Trump acknowledged the strike and called it a limited operation rather than a return to full-scale war. Iranian state media and witnesses reported explosions on Qeshm and Hengam islands and near Bandar Abbas. Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed to have downed two US reconnaissance drones, a claim not confirmed by The Wall Street Journal. Iran's officials condemned the strikes as an exercise of self-defense, while talks mediated by Qatar continue.
