Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has vowed to respond to a reported United States attack on Larak Island, saying the strike killed and injured several Iranian fighters and civilians.
The Guards, according to Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB, said those responsible for the attack would face retaliation, but did not provide details on the number of casualties recorded.
The reported strike occurred on Sunday amid heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington, with both sides already involved in a broader confrontation that has increased military and diplomatic pressure across the region.
Iranian officials have not released further information on the nature of the attack, the location of the targets, or the circumstances surrounding the reported casualties.
Earlier on Sunday, Iran’s Fars news agency reported that an explosion was heard near Larak Island, although the cause of the blast was not immediately confirmed.
The Larak Island area is located near the Strait of Hormuz, a strategically important waterway through which a significant portion of global oil shipments passes.
The latest development adds to growing tensions in the Middle East, with Iran and the United States facing continued disputes over security issues, sanctions, and regional influence.
The United States has not immediately issued a public statement regarding the reported attack.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said further action would be taken against those responsible, without providing a timeline or details of the planned response.
