BBC News Brasil31 August 2026 at 00:12

The United States hit Iranian launchers on Larak Island, marking the first attack on Iran in weeks. The action represents a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries.

The spokesperson for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps classified the attack as a "strategic and fatal error of the Trump regime." The Revolutionary Guard is Iran's main military force responsible for the country's defense.

According to the Iranian spokesperson, "the enemy will pay the consequences of this miscalculation in both the economic and military spheres." The threat indicates that Iran intends to retaliate in some way.

The attack occurs after a period without direct hostilities between the two countries, suggesting a shift in the Trump administration's approach to Iran.
