The US has launched fresh strikes on IRGC targets in Iran after alleged attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and American troops in the Middle East. Iran reported four projectiles hitting areas near the strait. The escalation follows a US strike on Larak Island and Iranian missile attacks on US bases in Jordan.

"Today at 12 p.m. ET, U.S. forces began striking Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets in Iran. The strikes follow recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against American service members deployed to the region", the post read.
