United KingdomThe US Central Command (Centcom) accused Iran of creating an 'imminent threat' in the Strait of Hormuz and stated that US forces took limited, precise action against Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) minelaying operations. In a social media post, Centcom dismissed Iran's claims that the US strikes constituted an act of aggression as 'absolutely false.' The operation involved targeting two launchers on Iran's Larak Island, marking the first known American attacks on Iran since late July. Centcom emphasized that the actions were taken to protect civilian mariners, commercial shipping, and the free flow of global commerce.
