Wall Street Journal: US carries out strikes on Iran's Qeshm island

Qeshm, Iran ·

The paper cited US officials as saying the attack was part of a series of limited strikes that Washington carried out covertly against Iran. According to the report, the strikes aim to prevent Tehran from targeting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

Qeshm is Iran's largest island and lies in the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway through which a large share of the world's seaborne oil passes.
