The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed that a recent strike had damaged facilities on Larak Island, located in the Strait of Hormuz. According to a statement released by the IRGC and reported by Iran’s Fars news agency, the attack targeted military installations on the island, a key strategic point for Iranian naval operations.

In its response, the IRGC warned that the assault would be met with a retaliatory response. The agency’s statement emphasized that any further aggression against Iranian territory would trigger a proportional counter‑action. The incident follows a series of escalating tensions in the region, with Larak Island’s proximity to critical shipping lanes making it a focal point for both defensive and offensive posturing by regional actors.
