WASHINGTON, Nov 3 — The United States on Monday attacked Iran’s Qeshm Island, the Wall Street Journal reported, even as President Donald Trump signalled progress in negotiations with Tehran to end the eight-month-old conflict.
The Journal, citing unnamed US officials, described the strike against Qeshm, the the largest island in the Strait of Hormuz, as the latest of a series of limited strikes Washington has secretly carried out against Iran in recent weeks.
Iranian state news agency IRNA reported five explosions in rapid succession were heard on the island, and that some residents reported seeing two aircraft flying in its skies.
The Pentagon referred questions about the reported strikes to US Central Command, which did not immediately respond to an AFP request for comment late Monday.
