The American media reported that the US military struck the Iranian island of Qasem in the south of the country, explaining it as a defensive purpose and a response to Tehran's actions. Press TV on Tuesday night reported that the explosions were heard on Chasma. The Wall Street Journal claimed that the US armed forces were involved, which for several weeks continued to launch smaller attacks against the Islamic Republic. News journalist Kelly Mayer on the social network X quoted the words of an unknown American source that the measure was defensive in nature and was a response to the Iranian use of missiles on the surface in front of US facilities. Similar information was published by Fox News Magazine's Jennifer Griffin, indicating that we are talking about the response to the shelling of the American plane by Iran on Monday, and not the beginning of new large-scale attacks by the United States.
