US strikes Iran’s Qeshm Island as Vance voices optimism about a deal
A Guardian report says the US launched limited strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island late on Monday, hours after JD Vance voiced optimism that diplomacy to end the war was moving forward. The US called the strikes defensive, Israel denied a role, Iran's leaders warned of unpredictable consequences and set seven conditions including lifted sanctions, while Trump told Fox News there was "a very good chance we make a deal" and mediators expect clarity within two days.
