US strikes Iranian air defense in Qeshm, 1st since midterms
World
The US just carried out a quick strike on an Iranian air-defense system in Qeshm Island's Suza region.
President Trump called it a "minor" operation, saying, "we knocked it out in about 15 minutes, maybe five."
This is the first military move like this since the US midterm elections, where Trump's party took some big losses.
Nuclear talks stalled over sanctions
These strikes come while talks over Iran's nuclear program are basically stuck.
Qatar has offered a deal, but Iran wants sanctions and blockades lifted before even starting negotiations.
Meanwhile, US officials are offering rewards for information about Iran's nuclear activities, and regional leaders are scrambling to keep things from escalating further.
