US Military Hits Iranian Missile Site, Sinks IRGC Mine-Laying Boats in ‘Self-Defense Strikes’

As negotiators try to strike a deal to end the conflict between the U.S. and Iran, U.S. forces announced that they have stopped Iran’s efforts to attack U.S. troops in their tracks.

U.S. Central Command labeled the attacks “self-defense strikes,” according to Fox News.

“U.S. forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces,” CENTCOM representative Capt. Tim Hawkins said.

“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,” Hawkins said.

A senior U.S. official told Fox News that two Iranian boats were spotted appearing to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

Both Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ships were sunk.

A missile site in Bandar Abbas that targeted American planes was also hit.
