Two missiles struck the Suza area on the Iranian island of Qeshm this Saturday, according to a report by the semi-official Tasnim news agency, as cited by Reuters.
The agency specified that there was no official information on potential damage and that more details would be released once the relevant authorities confirmed the incident.
The Iranian state agency IRNA supplemented the report, indicating that witnesses in the area heard the sound of an aircraft over the island before observing the impact of the two projectiles in the Suza region, in the south of the country.
The new attack comes after eleven consecutive nights of U.S. military operations against Iranian targets, according to the report available at the close of this edition. On November 6, President Donald Trump confirmed attacks that he described as "minor" against an air defense facility on the same island, stating that the target was neutralized within a time frame of five to 15 minutes.
Qeshm, the largest island in Iran with approximately 1,200 km², occupies a strategically important position: it is located about 22 km south of Bandar Abbas, Iran's main port, and dominates the maritime routes of the Strait of Hormuz, which is traversed by a significant portion of the world's oil.
The island hosts naval facilities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including anti-ship missile batteries, bases for rapid attack boats, and an extensive network of underground tunnels.
The conflict between Washington and Tehran began on February 28, 2026, with the so-called "Epic Fury Operation," a joint offensive by the U.S. and Israel against Iranian nuclear and military facilities. A ceasefire agreed upon in June was broken in July, when Iran attacked U.S. bases in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, and Oman with ballistic missiles and drones, triggering a new round of reprisals.
In parallel to the fighting, diplomatic negotiations remain active. This Saturday, the International Media Office of Qatar strongly denied claims circulating on social media that the conversations between the U.S. and Iran had failed, describing such information as "false and misleading."
Qatar accused fake accounts of distorting the words of Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani to undermine diplomatic efforts and promote an escalation.
According to the official Qatari clarification, Al Thani stated that "both parties continue to work towards an agreement" and that Doha's mediation remains "in close coordination with Washington and Tehran." Qatar and Pakistan are acting as mediators in negotiations that remain stalled due to the dispute over who should make the first concessions.
The draft under discussion includes the lifting of the U.S. naval blockade and the partial release of frozen Iranian assets in exchange for access for inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the targeted facilities, along with the subsequent reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump declared days ago that he would evaluate "soon" whether the U.S. should expand operations to prevent Iran from rebuilding its nuclear program, while his national security team analyzed three options: resuming large-scale attacks, intensifying sanctions and maritime blockades, or negotiating an agreement with verifiable Iranian concessions.
