A reported US strike on Iran's strategic Qeshm Island is raising fresh questions over the fragile standoff between Washington and Tehran. The Wall Street Journal reports that the US secretly carried out an attack, while Iranian state media outlet IRNA reported explosions on the island, located near the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. In a separate development, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy claims it has captured a fourth US reconnaissance and decoy drone intact. Iranian officials say their electronic warfare unit took control of an MQM-170 drone near the Strait of Hormuz, alleging it was deployed to identify Iranian air defence systems along the Persian Gulf coast and over Qeshm Island. The developments come as US President Donald Trump signals that a deal with Tehran remains possible. Meanwhile, reports of the attack have pushed oil prices higher amid concerns over disruptions to global energy supplies.
