US strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island: American forces carried out limited strikes on the strategic island in the Strait of Hormuz on November 2, 2026, in what officials described as a defensive operation.
US officials said the strikes aimed to stop Iranian forces from using surface-to-air missiles against American assets. Iranian state media reported explosions on Qeshm Island, while Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it shot down American drones, a claim Washington disputes. The operation came on the eve of America's midterm elections, even as President Donald Trump said a deal with Tehran could still happen.
