U.S. Conducts Defensive Strikes on Iranian Targets Near Strait of Hormuz Amid Diplomatic Efforts

The U.S. military has launched limited defensive strikes against Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz, specifically on Iran's Qeshm Island, after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reportedly fired at an American aircraft. These military actions coincide with ongoing diplomatic efforts, as President Trump and Vice President Vance have indicated progress in talks with Iran aimed at preventing a renewed conflict.
