US has conducted defensive strikes on some Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz, US official says
U.S. officials said the operation was defensive and aimed at Iranian forces using surface-to-air missiles against American assets, not a wider campaign.
- On Monday, the United States military carried out limited strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island, which officials described as a defensive operation to prevent the use of surface-to-air missiles against U.S. assets.
- The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has repeatedly targeted U.S. aircraft over the Strait of Hormuz, prompting officials to neutralize a launcher that threatened American forces.
- President Donald Trump has downplayed the conflict, calling it "not a war" because "we haven't been doing any fighting for months," even as the campaign has cost U.S. taxpayers at least $47 billion.
- Vice President JD Vance recently reported "good conversations with the Iranians," signaling potential progress toward a negotiated settlement, though Republicans face scrutiny over the war's economic impact ahead of Tuesday's midterms.
- The region remains on edge regarding potential full-scale operations despite Iran's stated openness to diplomacy; Trump has previously suggested he could restart major military actions against Iran following the midterm elections.
