The New York Times quoted a U.S. official on Tuesday as saying that the United States had launched limited strikes on Qeshm Island, off the southern coast of Iran, in response to Tehran firing on a U.S. aircraft. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard had earlier announced that it had shot down a U.S. drone east of the Strait of Hormuz, while U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he might have to bomb the Kuh-e Falas site near the Natanz nuclear facility. The U.S. official clarified that the strikes on Qeshm were limited and that there were no immediate plans for escalation, noting that the Revolutionary Guard had fired at two U.S. fighter jets flying over the Strait of Hormuz but missed them.
