World News Today Live Updates: US forces strike two Iranian launchers on Iran’s Larak island
On Sunday, American forces targeted two Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island, marking the first strike on Iran since late July. The attack was reported by a US official to Reuters, as the launchers were spotted preparing to fire sea mine-equipped rockets toward the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded swiftly, firing ballistic missiles at American forces in Jordan, though most of the incoming fire was reportedly intercepted without significant damage.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed that the initial US strike resulted in casualties among troops and civilians, vowing retaliation against those responsible. In a statement, Iran's Supreme Leader called for Muslim states to unite in confronting the perceived enemy.
