WASHINGTON, Aug 30 (Reuters) – U.S. forces struck two Iranian launchers on Iran’s Larak island on Sunday, a U.S. official said, marking the first known American strikes on Iran since late July.
“I can confirm that earlier today U.S. forces struck two Iranian launchers on Larak Island. Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces were observed preparing to launch rockets with sea mines into Strait of Hormuz,” the U.S. official said.
