US forces struck two Iranian launchers on Larak Island, the first known strikes since July, as Tehran vows retaliation and claims casualties; reports also reference a drone strike and ongoing US-Israel actions that keep the Strait of Hormuz tensions active.
The U.S. military says it struck two Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island near the Strait of Hormuz, marking the first American attack in over a month. The action comes amid ongoing Gulf tensions, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps vowing retaliation after accusing Washington of aggression and reporting casualties among fighters and civilians. Washington has warned Iran against mining the Strait and said it will defend free shipping, as officials continue to monitor the area and describe the strike as a protective measure for global commerce.
