Iran's Revolutionary Guard reports casualties in US strike on Larak Island

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said members of the force were killed and wounded in a US strike on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a statement issued Sunday evening. The Guard said civilians were also affected by the attack and warned that it would respond, declaring the aggressor would be punished. The strike hit two Iranian missile launchers on the island after US forces detected what they said was an Iranian Revolutionary Guard operation to fire sea-mine-laden missiles into the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report cited by the source. Iran's Tasnim news agency said two people were killed and two others were wounded. US Central Command had earlier confirmed that it had neutralized sea mines that the Revolutionary Guard Corps had placed along international shipping lanes. No further details on the operation or the casualties were immediately available.
