On August 31 local time, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran issued a statement stating that in response to the invasions by the United States and Israel against the Iranian island of Larak, the Revolutionary Guard launched missiles and drones to destroy two technical and maintenance facilities of US Air Force bases located in Jordan, causing severe damage to the locations where fighter jets were deployed.
The Revolutionary Guard warned: "The enemy's aggression and criminal acts cannot weaken Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. Every attack will face a even more fierce counterattack."
According to a source confirmed by Fox News Network in the United States, Iran has launched attacks against US military bases in Jordan. However, this source stated that the attacks did not cause significant damage, as “almost all of the missiles were intercepted.”
On the evening of August 30 local time, the United States Central Command announced an air strike on the Iranian island of Larak near the Strait of Hormuz, destroying two rocket launch facilities on the island. This was the first military strike against Iranian targets by the United States in over a month. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran subsequently confirmed that the U.S. air strike caused casualties among Iranian soldiers and civilians.
