US Strikes Iranian Rocket Launchers in Strait of Hormuz
The U.S. military conducted strikes against Iranian rocket launchers in the Strait of Hormuz, marking its first military action in the region in weeks. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed its army attacked the UAE's Al Minhad Air Base with drones in response to the killing of IRGC members and civilians on Larak Island. The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) rejected the IRGC's claim of strikes, calling it an 'act of aggression.' Iran's state TV reported the drone attack, while the U.S. stated its strike targeted Iran's mine-laying forces.
