U.S. Blocks Gulf Mine Deployment
The American military attempted to prevent Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces from launching missile-attacks carrying sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz, targeting mine-laying platforms on Larak Island in what is the first known U.S. operation inside Iran since late July. Centcom reported that Iranian forces posed an imminent threat, and the incident resulted in two deaths and several injuries. Iran responded by firing missiles at two American bases in Jordan and bombing Al Minhad Air Base in the UAE, in addition to shooting down an American drone. U.S. President Donald Trump warned of a strong retaliatory response to Iranian attacks, while an Iranian official claimed that any American attack would be met with a response ten times greater. Washington denied targeting G Haft Island, despite Iran's announcement that its oil operations continue. Iran condemned the Larak strike and regarded the Jordan attacks as a legitimate act of self-defense. Meanwhile, an Iranian official called for dialogue to resolve the crisis, emphasizing that war benefits no one.
