US President Donald Trump confirmed that United States military forces carried out strikes on Iran’s Qeshm island, describing them as minor actions against Iranian air defense systems.

Iranian state media reported two missile strikes in the Suza area of Qeshm island and claimed an American MQ-9 drone was intercepted and destroyed by Iranian air defense forces.

US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the situation on Qeshm is 'relatively calm' and confirmed awareness of the reports, though it provided no further details.

CENTCOM also announced a reward of up to $20 million and possible relocation for information related to Iran’s nuclear program, including facilities, equipment, and personnel.

Trump stated that his administration is in ongoing talks with Iranian representatives, claiming 'a lot of progress' has been made, though he did not specify the nature of the discussions.
