The US Central Command reported on Sunday that the US military hit two Iranian rocket launchers on Sunday when Iran was trying to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran said earlier on Monday local time that in response to the US military's attack on Iran, it was firing missiles at US fighter jets at air bases in Jordan. There are thousands of US military personnel stationed in Jordan. The Jordanian military said it intercepted 8 missiles in the early hours of Monday morning, with no casualties or property damage. A source who knows about the Iranian attack but has no right to speak out publicly said that all Iranian missiles fired at Jordan have been intercepted. This is the first time in a month that the US has carried out an attack on Iran. The scale of the operation was limited; it was not a restart of large-scale bombing. However, the two sides have gone back and forth, increasing the risk of a new round of military attacks against each other. Captain Tim Hawkins, a spokesman for the US Central Command, said that surveillance revealed that Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces of Iran are preparing to launch a rocket carrying a torpedo from Larak Island and drop it into the surrounding strait waters. The strait is a key channel for oil and gas transportation. According to Iran's state television, after the US military attack ended, the Revolutionary Guard immediately stated that the attack “will surely result in a punitive response against the invaders.” Iran's Tasneem News Agency said that two people died as a result of the attack, and this claim cannot be verified yet. The Trump administration urged commercial vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, with the US Navy guiding the ships through the waters of Oman in the southern part of the strait. US military officials said that naval vessels, air force fighter planes, and army helicopters are closely monitoring the strait and are ready to launch attacks against Iranian armed forces threatening the passage of merchant ships along the waterway.
