Axios, quoting an American source, reported that the Revolutionary Guards fired a missile from Kesham Island at an American plane in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday night. According to this official, a US fighter responded by destroying the IRGC's surface-to-air missile launcher in a defensive action. According to the Wall Street Journal, Washington is carrying out these attacks to limit the Islamic Republic's ability to threaten commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, and is deliberately avoiding announcing them publicly so as not to send a signal that it intends to resume a full-scale war. These attacks were carried out while Donald Trump, the president of the United States, was talking about the possibility of reaching a diplomatic agreement with Tehran.
