CAIRO, Nov 7 (Reuters) - ⁠Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency ⁠said on Saturday initial reports indicated ‌that two missiles had struck Qeshm Island, adding there was no official information on possible damage.

Tasnim ​said further details would be ⁠released once relevant ⁠authorities confirmed the incident.

The state news agency ⁠IRNA ‌had earlier reported that local witnesses said two projectiles had ⁠struck the Suza area of Qeshm Island ​in ‌southern Iran after the sound of ⁠an aircraft ​was heard over the island.

On Saturday, Qatar’s International Media Office denied circulating reports ⁠that the United States and ​Iran had failed to reach an agreement to end their war, describing these allegations ⁠as false and misleading. It said the Qatari prime minister had affirmed that both sides continue to work toward an ​agreement.

The statement added that ⁠Qatar’s mediation efforts are ongoing, in close ​coordination with Washington ‌and Tehran, to support the ​negotiations.
