The United States has launched military strikes targeting the Iranian island of Qeshm in the Strait of Hormuz, according to American officials. The attack focused on Iranian positions reportedly using surface-to-air missiles against US assets in the region.
The strike comes amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, with diplomatic efforts simultaneously underway. According to Times of Israel reporting, US officials including Vice President-elect Vance have indicated the US is ‘feeling pretty good about prospects’ of reaching a deal with Iran, with President Trump stating ‘it could happen.’
Israel has reportedly been pressing Lebanon to prevent Hezbollah from joining renewed hostilities with Iran, indicating concerns about regional escalation.
