US officials informed CBS television channel about the American strike. In turn, Iran's state agency IRNA reported several explosions on the island.

According to American officials, the strikes were limited in nature and were a response to the shelling of an American aircraft by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

This occurred on the eve of the US midterm elections, the results of which will clarify which party — Republicans or Democrats — will control Congress.

Trump's ratings are declining, and within his own party, pressure is mounting to end the war against Iran.

Earlier on Monday, he told reporters that he was not in a hurry to escalate strikes on Iran.

In recent days, speculation has intensified that after the midterm elections, the US might again launch large-scale strikes on Iran. However, on Monday, when asked by a journalist if this was indeed the case, Trump replied: "No," writes the BBC.
