US and Iran Trade Strikes for First Time in Weeks

The United States has carried out its first known strike on Iran in weeks, targeting Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. The attack killed two people and injured two others. The strike marks a renewed escalation between the two countries after a period of relative quiet since late July. Larak Island is located in a key oil shipping route, raising concerns about regional stability. No further details on the target or the nature of the operation have been released. Iranian officials have not yet issued an official statement.
