According to N12, a US fighter jet destroyed a surface-to-air missile launcher on Qeshm Island in Iran, after it launched an anti-aircraft missile from there. According to a senior American official who spoke with Axios, the strike was carried out as part of self-defense.

According to Ynet, the US strikes on Qeshm Island were carried out overnight, and according to The Wall Street Journal, the US has been striking inside Iran for weeks at a limited scale. A senior Iranian official said the sides are far from an agreement to end the war, and that US demands are not acceptable.
