A US official has told the Associated Press that American forces have carried out limited defensive strikes against Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz.
The official said the strikes targeted Iranian military positions that were threatening US military assets using surface-to-air missiles.
Meanwhile, Iranian state television reported hearing explosions on Qeshm Island, near the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz.
The Associated Press reported that the military action appeared to be limited in scope and did not necessarily signal a wider resumption of hostilities between the United States and Iran.
The developments come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to reach an agreement between Washington and Tehran.
