US Strikes Iranian Island in Strait of Hormuz

REPORTER:  
The US has struck targets on an Iranian island in the Strait of Hormuz. US officials say the strikes were defensive and meant to protect US assets in the region. The operation comes just ahead of the US midterm elections and shortly after US President Donald Trump had said the US had won the war. While Trump says a deal may be coming together, an Iranian official said the two sides remain far apart following the strike. It's the latest in a series of covert US strikes in recent weeks.
