On the evening of November 6th local time, U.S. President Trump confirmed in a interview with reporters that the U.S. military carried out a new round of limited military strikes against Iran that day.
Earlier reports indicated an explosion occurred on Geshm Island in southern Iran. Trump stated that the U.S. military destroyed a small Iranian anti-aircraft facility, with the operation lasting only about 5 to 15 minutes. He referred to this action as a “small-scale strike,” but did not disclose any further details about the target.
Trump also said that military actions against Iran are not considered wars. When discussing the US role in Iran, Trump even stated that the United States might be considered an "occupying force," as the US controls the Strait of Hormuz. He also claimed that currently, no ships can pass through this strait without US approval.
According to Iranian media reported by CCTV International News, two missiles struck Geshm Island in southern Iran early today (November 7th). There is currently no official information on the damage caused.
Previously, after securing victories in the midterm elections, the leaders of both houses of the U.S. Democratic Party have stated that they demand the Trump administration to end the war against Iran as soon as possible, and that reducing the cost of living for American citizens should be a key policy focus of the new congress.
