Covert US attacks on Iran. Just before the elections, Americans struck the island of Qeshm

The U.S. has conducted limited military strikes against Iran, including an attack on Keshem Island, just before the midterm elections. President Trump claims the U.S. has won the war with Iran, although he denies plans for renewed conflict. Reports suggest ongoing U.S. operations aim to secure shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump's administration is keeping these actions secret to avoid perceptions of escalating war, which could negatively impact Republican election prospects. Various strategies regarding Iran are being considered, including negotiations and military action, while oil prices remain high due to the conflict.
