Strait of Hormuz: US and Iran Exchange Fire Again After Month of Pause

TVI Notícias31 August 2026 at 21:25

The United States struck two military targets on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz in an operation that marks the return of hostilities between the two countries after about a month of pause.

In response, Iran launched about a dozen missiles at two American bases located in Jordan. According to the article, none of the missiles reached their intended target.

President Donald Trump reacted to the Iranian attack by pledging to hit Iran hard, in a rhetoric escalation that suggests new military actions by the Americans.

The article does not specify what the American targets were on Larak Island nor what type of facilities were struck, nor is it clear what type of Iranian response prompted the American operation that triggered this new exchange of attacks.
