US forces reportedly launched a secret attack on Iran’s Qeshm Island Monday, the latest in a series of small-scale strikes aimed at securing the Strait of Hormuz.
The assault was one of several the US secretly carried out against Iran in recent weeks, which have been described by US officials as defensive in nature, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Monday’s target, Qeshm Island, has been used by the Iranian regime to store ballistic missiles. It is also the site of a naval base and a desalination plant.
The island, located at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz, has been repeatedly targeted by US forces since the start of the war with Iran.
US Central Command did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
