Trump confirms new US strikes on Iranian air defense on Qeshm Island
–
Neutral summary
US President Donald Trump confirmed that American forces carried out new limited strikes on an Iranian air defense system on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday. He described the operation as “minor,” saying the target was knocked out in about 15 minutes, possibly five. Iranian state media reported two explosions in the Suza area of the island, which is crucial for oil shipments. Iran’s army, in comments carried by state broadcaster IRIB, said it shot down a US MQ-9 drone. The strikes are the first since Republicans suffered a defeat in Tuesday’s midterm elections. Trump also said negotiations with Tehran were going “very well,” and regional officials said Iran was reviewing Qatari-brokered proposals to end the war. Qatar’s prime minister said mediation efforts continue to prevent escalation. Earlier on Friday, the US Treasury imposed sanctions on eight entities in Canada and blocked US banks from dealing with cryptocurrency exchange MEXC Global, accusing it of handling at least $16 billion in illegal transactions linked to Iran, North Korea, and Russia. On Thursday, sanctions were placed on companies and individuals in India and Turkey for helping Iran evade restrictions on oil exports and airlines. Middle East Eye and The Guardian note the strikes came after Trump’s electoral setback and amid accelerated diplomatic efforts.
