  "account": "In a first since late July, US forces have targeted two Iranian launchers on Larak Island, according to a US official. The attack came after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps displayed readiness to launch rockets carrying sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's state media reported that the strike resulted in casualties among soldiers and citizens, with Tehran promising a response. Iranian media outlet Tasnim reported that the US carried out a drone strike on the island. President Trump had earlier assured that all mines had been removed from the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz. The last known US strikes on Iran occurred in late July amid a stalemate in the ongoing conflict. The six-month-long Iran war has resulted in thousands of deaths and displacement of millions, with the Strait of Hormuz currently under blockade due to the conflict.",
