What is it about Iran's Qassam Island, on which the US has fired missiles?

The US has attacked Iran's Qassam Island before the midterm elections. It is believed that this attack has been carried out on Monday (2 November 2026). Earlier, US President Donald Trump had said that in view of the current situation, no agreement can be made with Iran.

Wall Street Journal, in recent weeks, the US has carried out several military strikes against Iran. Meanwhile, attacking Kesham Island creates a lot of tension. Recently, US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that oil prices have fallen by about $ 10 per barrel. Because of this, Iran wants to reach an agreement as soon as possible.

Why did the island attack happen?

The US attacked Iran's Kesham Island. There can be many big reasons behind this. Explain that Kesham Island is very important in terms of its special geographical location, military and trade. It is the largest island located in the Persian Gulf and is near the Strait of Hormuz. About 20 percent of the world's oil trade through sea routes passes through this route. Because of this, any kind of tension on this route can affect international oil supply.

Why is it important to keep an eye on the Strait of Hormuz?

The Strait of Hormuz connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. This route is very important for energy supplies from countries like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The island of Kesham is considered important in terms of surveillance and military activities due to its proximity to this sea route.

Several explosions on Kesham Island

The US has kept the attacks on Iran on a small scale and is deliberately carrying out secret attacks. According to Iranian state media outlet IRNA, the alleged attack occurred after a series of explosions on the island of Qeshm located in the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC's navy has claimed that it has taken over a US decoy drone west of the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC took control of its guidance and control system, allowing the drone to be safely in their hands.
