Corroborated · Qeshm Island, Iran (approximate: Hormozgan) ·
US officials and the US military say US forces carried out limited defensive strikes on Qeshm Island, Hormozgan, Iran, overnight on 2-3 November, after Iranian fire at a US aircraft. US officials reportedly said a surface-to-air missile launcher on the island was hit. Iranian state media reported several explosions on the island. A Hormozgan province official, relayed by IRIB, says US attacks on two fishing boats near Qeshm wounded one fisherman, with no immediate US confirmation. The Israeli army denies taking part in the US strikes, and Iran's Foreign Ministry says Iran is now in a state of war.

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.
