Iran’s Tasnim news agency says two missiles hit Qeshm Island. No official information on damage has been released.
Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency reported Saturday that two missiles struck Qeshm Island in the country’s south. Initial reports gave no official information on possible damage, and Tasnim said more details would follow once authorities confirmed the incident.
The state news agency IRNA earlier cited local witnesses who said two projectiles hit the Suza area after an aircraft was heard overhead. Separately, Iranian media citing the Revolutionary Guard said air defenses shot down a U.S. MQ-1 drone over the island Friday night. The United States has not confirmed that claim. Asked Friday whether U.S. forces were responsible for strikes near Qeshm, President Donald Trump said he did not want to discuss it.
The reports come amid U.S.-Iran talks to end the war. Qatar’s International Media Office on Saturday denied reports that the two sides had failed to reach an agreement, calling them false and misleading. It said Qatar’s mediation continues in close coordination with Washington and Tehran.
