WASHINGTON — The United States military executed a series of limited, targeted precision strikes against strategic installations on Iran's Qeshm Island, American defense officials confirmed on Wednesday. The operation, designed to neutralize specific regional threats, represents a calculated use of force in one of the world's most sensitive geopolitical choke points.

Qeshm Island, situated near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, has long served as a critical hub for Iranian naval assets and surveillance infrastructure, making it a focal point for regional defense strategies.
