President Trump told reporters on Friday that the U.S. military carried out limited strikes on targets in Iran, including an anti-aircraft device. These actions followed reports of explosions on Qeshm Island, Hengam Island, and the mainland area of Bandar Abbas.

The strikes mark the first U.S. military action since the midterm elections.
