US officials confirm strike on Iran's Qeshm Island

US officials have confirmed that American forces struck Qeshm Island in Iran's Strait of Hormuz region, after Iranian state media reported explosions there earlier on Monday. The reported detail is limited, and the targets and damage are not yet established. A direct US strike on Iranian territory marks a concrete step in the wider confrontation between Iran, Israel and the United States, and raises the risk of a broader regional war.
