American forces struck Iranian rocket launchers in the Strait of Hormuz, in the first military action in recent weeks.

American forces carried out an attack on Iranian rocket launchers in the Strait of Hormuz, marking the first American military action in the region after a pause of approximately one month. Explosions were reported near Larak Island, and an American official stated that U.S. forces observed members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards preparing launchers for rockets, which were to be used alongside naval mines in this crucial maritime route for global oil transport.

Iran confirmed the attack, announcing casualties among its fighters and warning that the action would have consequences. The Strait of Hormuz is essential for global energy trade, and threats to navigation in the area can escalate tensions in international markets.
