The US has carried out strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, a US official says.
The strikes, earlier reported by the Wall Street Journal, appear to be limited and are not a resumption of major combat operations, the official says, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Another official says the strikes are defensive measures against Iranians using surface-to-air missiles against US assets.
Earlier on Monday, Iranian state media outlet IRNA reported that there were several explosions on Qeshm Island.
Fox News, citing officials, says the strikes are defensive and have been carried out in response to Iran firing at a US aircraft.
