Iranian state media said projectiles landed in the Sirik coastal area, causing multiple blasts heard in Minab County and on Qeshm Island. In a separate comment, Donald Trump asserted the conflict will cease immediately after the upcoming US midterm elections and forecast a drop in oil prices. He also suggested that negotiations with Tehran could still be possible despite the United States not actively pursuing a deal.
Why it matters
The strikes raise regional security concerns and show how US political statements can affect conflict perceptions and oil markets.
