Iran claims it struck a small Omani island in the Strait of Hormuz, targeting oil tanker navigation infrastructure as CENTCOM maintains its blockade of Iranian ports and protects commercial shipping from Iranian attacks along the southern route.
Three sources also confirmed to Iran's Qeshm Island Nov. 2, and officials described the strikes as "defensive" actions targeting Iranian surface-to-air missile threats.
Qeshm Island, located near the Strait of Hormuz, is home to Iranian naval facilities and military infrastructure associated with the Revolutionary Guard.
President Donald Trump also acknowledged Nov. 6 that American forces continue to conduct limited strikes against Iranian targets.
Asked by a reporter about the strikes near Qeshm Island, Trump said, "I don't want to talk about it. We do minor strikes. They built a little bit of an anti-aircraft device, and we knocked it out in about 15 minutes, maybe five."
