US carries out "limited strikes" on Iran's Qeshm Island

The US military has carried out "limited strikes" on Qeshm Island in Iran, according to Sky News. The strikes came only hours before the US midterm elections, in which Americans vote for members of Congress.

What is known

The Sky News report states only the basic fact: US forces carried out "limited strikes" on the Iranian island of Qeshm, and the timing was shortly before the vote.

The report does not say what targets were hit, whether there were casualties, or what prompted the attack. It also gives no reaction from Iranian or US officials.

Because the available information is so sparse, further details may emerge later.
