First Attack On Iran Since Late July Amid Rising Tensions
The US military has struck two Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island, marking its first attack on Iran in more than a month. The strike was in response to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) preparing to launch rockets with sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz. US forces are monitoring the area closely to protect the free flow of commerce through this essential waterway. The move comes as part of ongoing efforts to counter Iranian aggression and ensure the safety of international shipping routes, as reported by The Hill.
