The US military has struck Iranian military targets to prevent the deployment of sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz, a US official claimed, Axios reports.
“Earlier today, US forces struck two Iranian launchers on Larak Island. Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces were observed preparing to launch rockets with sea mines into Strait of Hormuz,” a US official said.
The official added that forces were “monitoring the area closely and remain prepared to protect the free flow of commerce” through the strait.
Tasnim News Agency, which is affiliated with the Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, reported a drone conducted the strike and two people have been killed and two others wounded.
