WSJ, citing American officials, reports that US forces attacked Kesham Island today. U.S. officials also told the WSJ that U.S. forces have carried out small-scale strikes against Iran, with some officials saying the strikes were defensive and intended to prevent Iran from having the freedom to attack shipping in the region. One American official said that the US did not recognize the campaign in order not to signal preparations for the renewal of the war against Iran. A WSJ report confirms Tabez's reports over the past few days.
