Axios: US official says we targeted two Iranian missile launch platforms on Kharg Island

A U.S. official said that U.S. forces struck two Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps missile launchers on Kharg Island today, after detecting Iranian preparations to launch maritime-armed missiles toward the Strait of Hormuz. The official, in statements to Axios and Al Jazeera, said that U.S. forces are closely monitoring the area and remain ready to protect freedom of navigation and the free flow of trade through the Strait of Hormuz. He added that the two Iranian launchers were preparing to fire maritime-armed missiles toward the strait, prompting U.S. forces to target them.
