New strikes distinguished from Monday’s operation
President Donald Trump said on November 6 that U.S. forces had carried out new limited strikes targeting an Iranian air defence system, AP reported. Iranian state media separately reported two explosions near Suza on Qeshm Island. The claim that the target was destroyed comes from Trump; the reported explosions do not independently establish the damage. AP distinguishes Friday’s action from a separate operation reported on Monday.
