Iran: Tehran attacks US military targets in Jordan in retaliation for attack on Larak Island

SAPO31 August 2026 at 01:14

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced today that it carried out attacks with ballistic missiles and drones against American military targets in Jordan. The action was classified as retaliation for the previous attack by the United States against Larak Island, located near the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran, through the Revolutionary Guard, was responsible for carrying out the attacks. The United States military forces were the targets of these attacks in Jordan.

The context of these events involves an escalation of tensions between Iran and the United States in the Middle East region. The Iranian retaliation comes in direct response to the American attack on Larak Island, which is near the Strait of Hormuz, an area of crucial strategic importance for international maritime traffic.
