Scenes released by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, which it says document the interception and destruction of an American MQ-9 UAV east of the Strait of Hormuz. This happens when an American official said that the US carried out attacks on the Iranian island of Keshm in the Strait of Hormuz. The Wall Street Journal quoted US officials as saying that the US has been carrying out "limited scope" strikes against Iran for several weeks. Some officials described these attacks as "defensive in nature" and designed to deny Iran the freedom to target commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Three American officials told CNN that the American attack came in response to Iran firing at an American plane.
