The United States military has carried out limited strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island, U.S. officials confirmed today. These actions come as President Donald Trump has reportedly sought to de-escalate war risks in the region.
Reports indicate the strikes are considered "defensive" in nature. Following the strikes, Iranian official Ghalibaf stated that the "ball is in the U.S. court," signaling a potential for further developments.
Global oil prices have risen in the wake of these events, as prospects for peace in the region appear to diminish. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
