US strike hits a location in Qeshm Island, Iranian media says

  • At least six missiles hit Qeshm Island early Sunday during US airstrikes targeting Iran, with explosions also heard in Bandar Abbas, though officials have not yet reported damage or casualties.
  • The strikes were intended to degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and to retaliate for Iranian attacks on American service members in Jordan, where US troops were killed or went missing.
  • Following the attacks, emergency teams in Iran assessed the damage on Qeshm Island, but no official figures on damage or casualties have been released.
  • Iranian leaders warned that Iran may launch full-scale offensive operations if the US bombardments continue, signaling an escalation in regional hostilities.
