US President Donald Trump said on Friday that the American military carried out a new round of "minor strikes" on Iran's Qeshm Island, which he claimed "knocked out" Iranian air defence systems.
Iranian state media reported that two blasts were heard in the Suza area of Qeshm Island, which lies in the Strait of Hormuz, the contested waterway which has been disrupted since the US launched its assault on Iran in February.
The Iranian army said in comments carried by state broadcaster IRIB that their air defences downed a US drone over the island.
But Trump told reporters shortly after that the attacks "knocked out" the air defence systems "in about 15 minutes, maybe five".
