Iran has launched retaliatory strikes following United States military attacks that targeted two missile launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. The US strikes, which mark the first direct military action against Iran since late July, resulted in two deaths and two injuries, according to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Washington stated that the operation was conducted to prevent Iranian forces from disrupting global shipping lanes in the critical Strait of Hormuz. The attack reflects a shift in the Trump administration's strategy toward inflicting maximum economic pressure on Tehran.
