Summary
American forces struck Iran’s Qeshm island overnight on June 11 for a second straight night, with residents reporting blasts strong enough to be heard and felt across the island.
Ali, a local hotel owner, said the attacks left him too nervous to take his usual swim, underscoring how the strikes immediately disrupted daily life in a tourism-dependent area.
Qeshm sits in the Strait of Hormuz, placing a growing local tourism industry on the front line of the Iran war and the wider fallout from instability around the vital shipping chokepoint.
