A US airstrike hit Larak Island, resulting in the death of two people, according to various Iranian media reports. The raid took place after Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces were observed preparing to launch rockets loaded with naval mines towards the Strait of Hormuz, a US official stated.

According to the Tasnim news agency, there are also at least two injuries following the attack. The Iranian Armed Forces, through a Revolutionary Guard spokesperson, declared that the aggressor will be punished for the attack.

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, stated that Iran is in no hurry to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He also emphasized that the agreement with Oman will not come into effect until the United States honors its commitments.

In response to the raids, it has emerged that Iranian missiles have been directed at US bases in Jordan. According to sources in Amman, eight missiles were intercepted by Jordanian forces.
