Single source: US strikes missile launch position on Qeshm Island, US and Iranian sources say

Single source · Qeshm Island, Iran (approximate: Hormozgan) · 2026-10-29 20:00 UTC

On the evening of 29 October 2026, a US strike hit a missile launch position on Qeshm Island, Hormozgan, Iran, after missiles were launched from the area. A US official says the US Air Force struck a missile launcher or launch platform, and Iranian sources relayed by OSINTWarfare say a projectile from a US drone hit the launch position. All sources attribute the strike to the US; they differ on the weapon (drone or aircraft) and on whether the strike came before or after the launch, which are details rather than disputes.

Details by origin

Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
