The United States attacked Iran's Qeshm Island, the largest island in the Strait of Hormuz, on Monday, November 2, 2026, the Wall Street Journal reported. The Journal, citing unnamed US officials, described the strike as the latest in a series of limited strikes Washington has secretly carried out against Iran in recent weeks. The attack came even as President Donald Trump signaled progress in negotiations with Tehran to end the eight-month-old conflict, and the report did not say what comes next.
