The attack targeting Iranian rocket launchers in the Strait of Hormuz was the first in over a month. Iran's Revolutionary Guards have vowed retaliation. DW has the latest.
US forces have carried out military strikes on Iran's Larak Island, marking the first such attacks on Iranian territory in over a month. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported redirecting 83 commercial vessels as part of efforts to enforce a maritime blockade against Iran, which was imposed in April following Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
The strikes come after Iranian military sites were reportedly targeted in the Strait of Hormuz, and Iranian media reported explosions near Larak Island. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps has vowed a response to the aggression, promising to punish the aggressor.
