US confirms new 'minor strikes' on Iran's Qeshm Island as talks continue
President Trump confirmed the US carried out minor strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island, saying it knocked out an anti-aircraft device in minutes. He said 'it's not a war' and claimed a lot of progress in talks. Iran said its forces are stronger than before the war. Qatar is mediating and has floated a plan that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz alongside nuclear inspections. The US also offered a $20 million reward for information on Iran's nuclear program.
Why it matters
The war and the Hormuz shipping disruption drive global oil prices and fuel costs.
Background
