Corroborated · Qeshm, Iran ·
US officials, cited by the Wall Street Journal, CNN and other outlets, say US forces carried out limited defensive strikes on Qeshm Island on Monday 2 November, targeting air defence, radar and missile launch sites after Iranian surface-to-air missile fire at US assets. Iranian state media and IRNA reported several explosions on the island with no cause given, and Trump said the US hit an air-defence system there in a limited attack.

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.
