The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, the 11th of Scorpio, citing American officials, that the United States attacked the island of Kesham in Iran. This operation is part of a series of limited and undeclared attacks carried out by Washington against Iran in recent weeks. According to American officials, the purpose of these attacks is to prevent the Islamic Republic from acting against commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. One of those sources said the US deliberately carried out the operation without public notice so as not to send a signal that Washington intended to start a full-scale war again. Laksham has a large underground missile complex and naval base, and US officials have previously discussed the possibility of occupying this island.
