US Central Command (CENTCOM) says its forces “took limited, precise action against IRGC minelaying forces posing an imminent threat in the Strait of Hormuz” in its attack on Larak Island.
– “In essence, Iran created the threat, and the US military eliminated it to protect civilian mariners, commercial shipping, and the free flow of global commerce,” CENTCOM said in a statement posted on X.
– CENTCOM rejected the Iranian statement that the strikes were “an act of aggression”.
