US strikes IRGC launchers on Larak Island, first since July; Iran fires at Jordan bases

2026-08-30 · military

US forces struck two IRGC rocket launchers on Larak Island that a US official said were being readied to fire sea mines into the strait, an action CENTCOM called 'limited, precise'; it was the first US strike on Iran since 29 July. The IRGC acknowledged dead and wounded among its fighters and civilians and said it fired missiles and drones at the King Hussein and Al-Azraq bases in Jordan; Jordan said it intercepted eight missiles early on 31 August and no injuries were reported.
