BREAKING: U.S. forces struck two Iranian missile launchers on Larak Island after officials say Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was observed preparing to launch rockets and deploy sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz. The strike comes after U.S. Central Command completed an operation to clear sea mines from the critical shipping route last week. U.S. forces are monitoring the area and remain prepared to protect the free flow of commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, according to a U.S. official.
