US strike reported near the Strait of Hormuz — and Washington is still talking deal.

The Wall Street Journal says US forces struck Qeshm island, near Iran's Strait of Hormuz, today, in response to Iran using anti-aircraft missiles against US military assets.

Vice President JD Vance said he and President Trump remain optimistic a deal can be reached through negotiation, while warning Iran is very unpredictable.

The US, he said, still holds both military and non-military options to apply pressure — diplomacy and force, side by side.
