US strikes on Qeshm island... and the CIA advises Trump to choose 'neither war nor a deal'

Qeshm Island, Iran ·

The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a source, that US forces carried out strikes on Iran's Qeshm island early Tuesday. According to the source, Washington has been conducting limited strikes against Iran for several weeks without announcing them. The island lies at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz and hosts military infrastructure belonging to the IRGC.

Iran and the United States have been at odds for decades, with disputes over Iran's nuclear programme and regional influence a persistent source of tension. The Strait of Hormuz, through which a large share of the world's seaborne oil passes, is a sensitive focal point in this rivalry.
