The United States reportedly targeted Iran’s Qeshm Island on Monday, November 2, 2026, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal, which cited US officials. Earlier, several explosions were reported on the island by Iran’s state news agency IRNA.
Qeshm Island is located in the Strait of Hormuz, an important waterway for international oil transportation. The reported attack has raised concerns about the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran and the possibility of further military action in the region.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the latest attack is part of a series of limited military strikes carried out by Washington in recent days. These operations have reportedly been conducted on a smaller scale and kept secret. The approach is intended to avoid creating the impression that the United States is preparing to restart a major military campaign against Iran.
The US Central Command did not immediately respond to requests for comments about the reported attack. Officials have not provided further details about the targets or the extent of the damage.
Earlier on Monday, US President Donald Trump was asked whether he would carry out his threat to resume military strikes against Iran after the midterm elections. Trump expressed doubt about taking such action and suggested that a possible agreement with Tehran could still be reached.
His comments have raised questions about Washington’s future plans toward Iran. While military operations have reportedly continued, the possibility of diplomatic discussions remains open.
The conflict between Washington and Tehran has been ongoing since February 28. The latest reported attack adds to the tensions between the two countries and has increased concerns about further military developments in the region.
The situation remains uncertain, with international observers closely watching for further announcements from both governments. Any escalation could have wider consequences for regional security, international trade, and oil transportation through the Strait of Hormuz.
