US attacks Iran's Qeshm Island, reports the Wall Street Journal

On November 2, the US reportedly attacked Iran's Qeshm Island amid ongoing negotiations to resolve the conflict. The Wall Street Journal noted this strike as part of a series of limited attacks aimed at preventing Iranian aggression in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian media reported multiple explosions and sightings of aircraft over the island. The Pentagon redirected inquiries to US Central Command, which did not comment. The US has conducted smaller strikes recently, described as defensive to protect commercial shipping routes. President Trump hinted at a potential deal with Tehran, leading to a significant drop in oil prices due to optimism about the conflict's resolution.
