Tehran, MINA – Three people were killed in a US strike on Iran’s Larak Island late Sunday, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
The attack targeted a site on the island in the southern province of Hormozgan. Two people were initially killed and several others injured. The injured were taken to a hospital, where one later died of wounds, bringing the death toll to three.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced early Monday that it had struck the King Hussein and Azraq airbases in Jordan with ballistic missiles, while also targeting Al Minhad Air Base in the UAE with explosive drones.
The IRGC stated that the operation was carried out in retaliation for the US strike on Larak Island on Sunday, which reportedly aimed to prevent the placement of sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil transit route.[]
