# The US military carried out strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island, hours before Americans are set to vote in the midterm elections. According to reports, the strikes were in response to Tehran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps firing at a US aircraft. This comes after president Donald Trump on Monday suggested that diplomacy with Iran is still at work, saying an agreement “could happen.” The US-Iran conflict has been a key talking point leading up to the midterms, with the conflict affecting the American economy and driving up global fuel prices.
