US Strikes Iranian Launchers on Larak Island; Iran Retaliates Against US Bases in Jordan and UAE

CENTCOM said US forces struck two Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island on August 30, calling it a "limited, precise action" against imminent minelaying in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's IRGC retaliated with ballistic missiles and drones against US bases in Jordan and the UAE — the first direct exchange since late July. President Pezeshkian said Iran was "not looking for war" but would "never sit still."
