The US is carrying out secret strikes on Kesham Island - The US has reportedly "secretly carried out" strikes against Iran, despite US President Donald Trump's claims of "no fighting for months", the Wall Street Journal reports, citing US officials. Washington deliberately chose to keep the campaign quiet to avoid signaling a return to full-scale military action, one official said. Another source classified the strikes as "defensive", and claimed that their purpose was to prevent Iran from attacking vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. substack | talk.
