U.S. launches surprise attack on Iran’s Qeshm Island

The reported strike comes amid a crisis involving Iran’s demands for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the resumption of peace negotiations. The waterway is a major route for global energy shipments, making any sustained military escalation there a potential international security and economic shock. Coverage also indicates that Washington is pursuing related diplomatic discussions involving Russia and Ukraine, but the immediate focus is the risk of direct U.S.-Iran confrontation and possible regional retaliation.
