Claim 2: “carried out strikes on a ground control point on the Iranian island of Qeshm”

SINGLE SOURCE

One specific web search result (Iran International) mentions that CENTCOM conducted self-defense strikes on a ground control station on Qeshm Island. However, the other provided evidence for this specific claim consists of irrelevant search results (US states, banking, libraries), meaning only one relevant source confirms this specific detail.
