Iran Claims Missile Attack on US Bases in Jordan After Larak Island Strikes
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says it launched missiles at US military positions in Jordan after American forces struck Iranian missile launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. A US official said the launchers were reportedly preparing to fire rockets carrying sea mines into the strategic waterway. Iran said the US strike, which state media claimed involved drones, killed and injured soldiers and civilians. US military officials said their forces defended against incoming missiles. The exchange raises fresh tension around the Strait of Hormuz after weeks of relative stalemate in the wider conflict.
