The U.S. military carried out "defensive" strikes against Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to limit Iran's ability to attack commercial shipping, U.S. media reported, citing American officials. Iran's state news agency IRNA stated that multiple explosions were heard on Iran's Qeshm Island and in the port city of Bandar Lengeh on Monday evening, with witnesses seeing two aircraft flying over Qeshm Island.
