US Military Action Against Iran Escalates in Strait of Hormuz
US forces have struck two Iranian launchers on Larak island, according to a US official, in response to Iranian preparations to launch rockets with sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz. The attack, which marks the first known US strikes on Iran since late July, has been met with vows of retaliation from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. The incident is the latest escalation in the conflict between the US and Iran, which has been ongoing for several months. The strike was reported by Reuters.
