Iran War: After weeks-long ceasefire – US attack Iranian rocket launchers
For weeks, things had been quiet in the Middle East between the warring parties, the USA and Iran. Just before the new week, there is once again a military escalation.
The US military has struck targets in Iran for the first time since late July, according to media reports. The attack targeted two missile launchers on Larak island, aiming to prevent them from laying new sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz. US officials said they observed Revolutionary Guard fighters preparing to fire missiles with sea mines towards the strait.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard reported that several soldiers and civilians were killed or wounded in the attack, and vowed to respond with "reaction and punishment". The US used drones in the attack, according to the Iranian news agency Tasnim.
