The U.S. military struck Iran’s Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz Monday after Iran fired at an American aircraft, officials confirmed to Fox News.
The strike was described as defensive and not a signal that the U.S. is resuming military attacks on Iran or escalating the conflict, according to Fox News.
Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported five explosions on the island, with residents reporting two aircraft overhead when the blasts occurred.
Qeshm Island is home to an underground missile site, a naval base and a major desalination plant. (Source)
