US military strikes radar and missile sites on Iran's Qeshm Island before midterms

The US military carried out strikes on radar detectors and missile launchers on Iran's Qeshm Island on Monday, according to The Hill.

This attack occurred a day before the US midterm elections, as mediators continue efforts to negotiate a peace deal between the US and Iran.

A US official described the strikes as defensive in nature and noted they are part of ongoing military actions against Iran.

The Hill reported that this strike continues a pattern of US military operations targeting Iranian military assets.

Mediators remain engaged in trying to facilitate a peace agreement between the two sides despite the recent military activity.
