US strikes Iranian missile sites on Larak Island in Strait of Hormuz
US forces targeted missile launchers on Iran's Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting Iran to fire eight ballistic missiles at Jordan, all intercepted.
US military forces struck two missile launch sites on Iran's Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday. This action came after detecting Revolutionary Guard units preparing to fire missiles with naval mines towards the Strait. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) described the operation as limited and precise, aimed at eliminating the threat and protecting civilian mariners, commercial shipping, and global trade.
Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned the US military strike, accusing the US of violating Iran's national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The ministry stated that the attack resulted in casualties and damage to property, and vowed a retaliatory response in defense of the Iranian people.
