The New York Times reports that the U.S. military struck Iran's Qeshm Island on Monday, the eve of the midterm elections, calling it the first American bombing inside Iran since early September, when it destroyed five Iranian crude oil carriers after Iran missile attacks that missed two American warships. U.S. officials describe the strike as a small-scale defensive measure that followed Iran's downing of an American drone, while President Trump told Fox News "there's no war raging" and Vice President JD Vance said both he and Trump feel "pretty good" about prospects for an agreement.
