Iran's armed forces say they shot down a US drone over Qeshm, an island in the south-east, and the Revolutionary Guards name a different model. Two explosions were reported overnight near Suza, but Iranian authorities have not confirmed damage or who was responsible.
Qeshm
Trump confirmed limited US strikes and called them minor. On talks, he said: We are talking to Iran. We have been. Qatar says mediation is still going.
