President Trump told reporters in West Palm Beach on Friday that U.S. forces carried out "minor strikes" that knocked out an Iranian anti-aircraft device "in about 15 minutes, maybe five," after Iranian state media reported two missile strikes on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, Al Jazeera and Fox News reported. U.S. Central Command said late Friday the U.S. is offering up to $20 million and possible relocation for information on Iran's nuclear program, and Trump said "we've made a lot of progress with Iran." On Saturday, Qatar's foreign ministry spokesman dismissed reports that U.S.-Iran talks had failed, Al Jazeera reported.
