On July 24, 2026, Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported that a US missile struck the coast of the town of Suza on Qeshm Island, in the Persian Gulf. The report cited an unnamed source and provided no immediate details on casualties or damage.
As of this writing, there has been no official confirmation from the United States military or the Pentagon. Independent news organizations have not been able to verify the claim. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has not issued any statement regarding operations in the area.
Qeshm Island is the largest island in the Persian Gulf, located near the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway for global oil shipments. The region has seen heightened tensions between Iran and the US in recent years.
This report comes amid ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, including the Israel-Hamas war and Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping. The veracity of the Tasnim report remains unconfirmed.
