According to media reports, the US military has again attacked targets in Iran. The attack was directed against the island of Gheshm in the Strait of Hormuz, as the Wall Street Journal reported, citing US officials. The "Axios" reporter Barak Ravid wrote on The channels CNN and CBS also reported on the “limited” attacks on the island.
The Iranian news agency Fars also spoke of the sounds of explosions. Residents of the island of Gheshm and the port city of Bandar Abbas reported this, it said.
A request to the responsible regional command of the US military initially remained unanswered. Hours earlier, US President Donald Trump had celebrated a fall in oil prices, citing the fact that many believed the war with Iran was coming to an end. Iran desperately wants an agreement, Trump claimed.
Several media outlets had recently reported on plans by the government in Washington to carry out renewed attacks against Iran together with Israel after today's US congressional elections.
Meanwhile, Iranian state media reported that night that the Revolutionary Guards had taken control of two more US reconnaissance drones south of the island of Gheshm using electronic systems. In addition, a US drone was destroyed east of the Strait of Hormuz.
As a rule, such information cannot be independently verified. According to the US Congressional Research Service, the US says it has lost or suffered damage to dozens of aircraft and drones since its attacks on Iran began. dpa/nd
