American media reports that the US military attacked the Iranian island of Kashem in the south of the country, explaining it for defensive purposes and in response to Tehran's actions. The Kash TV channel reported last night that explosions were heard in Kesham. The Wall Street Journal, in turn, claimed that the US armed forces were involved, which for several weeks continued to secretly carry out smaller-scale attacks against the Islamic Republic. NewsNation TV journalist Kelly Meyer, on the X social network, quoted an unnamed American official as saying that the measure taken was defensive in nature and was a response to Iran's use of surface-to-air missiles against American targets. Fox News journalist Jennifer Griffin published similar information, noting that we are talking about a response to Iran's attack on an American plane on Monday, and not the beginning of new large-scale attacks by the United States.
