☄️ The U.S. confirmed the accuracy of the news regarding the attack on Qeshm Island

On Monday, November 1, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing U.S. officials, that the United States targeted Qeshm Island in an attack. This operation is part of a series of limited and undisclosed attacks that Washington has carried out against Iran in recent weeks.

According to U.S. officials, the aim of these attacks is to prevent the Islamic Republic from taking action against commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

One of these officials stated that the U.S. deliberately conducts operations without public announcement to avoid signaling Washington's intent to restart a large-scale war.

Qeshm has a large underground missile facility and a naval base, and U.S. officials have previously discussed the possibility of seizing this island.

The newspaper reported that General Brad Cooper, the commander of CENTCOM, visited the White House last week to provide a report on the conflict with Iran. The U.S. military has also prepared for potentially larger attacks by transferring missile defense systems and additional munitions to the region. Washington has also warned Gulf countries to be ready for short and intense operations following the U.S. midterm elections.

Despite these movements, Donald Trump, the President of the United States, downplayed the likelihood of resuming a large-scale war on Monday, stating: "We had a war with Iran and we won. I don't even know if you can call it a war, because we haven't had any conflict or war for months." He also mentioned the possibility of reaching a diplomatic agreement with the Islamic Republic.
