US bombs IRGC launchers on Larak Island; IRGC attacks US bases in Jordan

U.S. Central Command announced that American forces conducted airstrikes on Larak Island, targeting two rocket launchers operated by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The strike, carried out by U.S. aircraft, was described as a precise response to intelligence indicating the launchers were positioned to threaten navigation through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, a key conduit for global oil shipments.

The operation underscores the heightened military tension between Washington and Tehran, following a series of regional confrontations involving Iranian-backed militias and U.S. naval assets. While the U.S. did not disclose casualty figures, officials affirmed that the targets were neutralized without further escalation. The incident adds to ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at preventing broader conflict in the Persian Gulf.
