US launches first strikes on Iran in weeks as regime vows revenge

The US launched strikes on Iran’s Larak Island on Sunday, the first offensive in weeks — as the regime vowed revenge.

The US fired the attack after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were allegedly setting up another wave of underwater mines in the Strait of Hormuz, Axios reported.
