US Strikes IRGC Launchers on Iran's Larak Island

US forces struck two IRGC missile launchers on Iran's Larak Island on 30 August as they prepared to fire, a US official said — the first US strike on Iran since late July. Tasnim reported two killed, two injured. IRGC spokesman Mohebbi called it a "strategic and fatal mistake." Larak sits on the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for roughly 20% of global oil and LNG flows.
