In a significant military escalation, U.S. forces have targeted Iranian rocket launchers situated on the Strait of Hormuz, marking their first action in weeks, according to a U.S. official on Sunday.
Reports from Iranian news sources indicated explosions near Larak Island, where Revolutionary Guard Corps forces were reportedly preparing to launch rockets. This strike follows the U.S. military's recent completion of operations to clear sea mines from the strait's international shipping lanes.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed that the attack resulted in casualties among Iranian fighters and civilians, promising retaliation against those responsible, as reported by state broadcaster IRIB.
