Iran attack details emerge
U.S. officials said the strikes carried out by the U.S. military on Iran’s Qeshm Island early Tuesday were limited and defensive in nature, and came in response to an Iranian missile launched toward a U.S. fighter jet near the Strait of Hormuz. The operation targeted a surface-to-air missile launcher and radar equipment, with the aim of protecting U.S. forces and equipment and reducing the threat to commercial shipping in the strait. Iranian media reported hearing five explosions on the island, while reports said Washington kept details of the attack secret to avoid it being seen as the start of a renewed, large-scale confrontation.
