Wall Street Journal: Secret US Strikes on Iran for Weeks

Washington – Agencies: The US Wall Street Journal reported that the United States has been conducting limited, “secret” strikes against Iran for several weeks. The latest of these strikes occurred in the early hours of yesterday, targeting Qeshm Island in southern Iran, according to the newspaper. US officials stated that Washington has been carrying out smaller-scale strikes against Iran for several weeks, describing them as “defensive in nature.” According to the source, these strikes aim to “prevent Iran from having free rein to attack commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.” One official explained that the United States is deliberately keeping this campaign under wraps, so as not to send any signal of an intention to resume large-scale combat operations. Unlike in previous stages of the conflict, the United States has not officially announced these attacks.
