The U.S. military launched strikes on Iranian rocket launchers near the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, marking its first military action in a month and breaking a lull in the intermittent conflict that has lasted for more than six months. A spokesperson for U.S. Central Command said American forces observed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) units preparing to fire rockets equipped with mines into the strait. The U.S. had just completed clearing naval mines from international shipping lanes in the strait last week. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that the U.S. attack on Larak Island on Sunday caused casualties among Iranian combatants and civilians, and vowed retaliation against those responsible.
