A US official said on Monday that the US had launched defensive strikes against some Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz, a day before key midterm elections.
According to Iranian state television, explosions were heard in Qeshm Island.
The strikes targeted Iranian targets that were using surface-to-air missiles against US facilities, the official said on condition of anonymity. The official was not allowed to make a public statement on the matter.
These attacks appear to be limited in nature rather than resuming full-scale war. However, the strikes came after President Donald Trump said the US would not attack Iran before Tuesday's midterm elections.
The Wall Street Journal reported the attacks earlier.
