It’s being reported by Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin that the US just conducted military strikes on Iran after the IRGC tried to put mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
Here’s the news:
CENTCOM spox Capt Tim Hawkins to Fox: “U.S. forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces. Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire.”MORE details on US strikes vs Iranian targets today:
2 Iranian boats were caught laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, senior US official tells me. The US military eliminated both IRGC vessels and also struck at a SAM (surface to air missile) site in Bandar Abbas that was targeting US warplanes.
“These were defensive strikes.” They do not indicate ceasefire is over, according to two well placed sources.
I am told the US strikes are over for now. Again these were defensive in nature not offensive and not an effort to break the ceasefire. The US military says it reacted when they saw 2 IRGC boats laying mines and then also when a SAM missile site targeted its warplanes.https://therightscoop.com/breaking-us-forces-conduct-strikes-on-iran-after-irgc-tried-to-put-mines-in-hormuz/
