The United States military carried out fresh limited strikes against Iran on November 6, targeting an Iranian air defence system near Qeshm Island, according to President Donald Trump. Iranian state media reported two explosions in the area near the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. The strikes come as Qatar attempts to mediate negotiations between Washington and Tehran over Iran's nuclear programme. Iran is considering proposals involving sanctions relief, unfreezing assets and reopening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for nuclear inspections. However, Tehran demands several concessions before negotiations, raising concerns about further military escalation. (PC: AP)
