According to a US official, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces were observed preparing to launch rockets with sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz, prompting the attack.\n\nThe US military action, which occurred on Sunday, is the first known American strike on Iran since late July. Iran's Revolutionary Guards have vowed retaliation, stating that the attack killed and wounded several soldiers and citizens.\n\nUS President Donald Trump had previously warned that any ship or boat placing new mines in the Strait of Hormuz would be destroyed. The US military remains prepared to protect the free flow of commerce through the strait, a US official said.",
