US military aircraft conducted strikes on Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps facilities in southern Iran, including sites near Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, and Larak Island, according to Al-Monitor reporting. The operations followed projectile attacks on two Saudi oil tankers off Oman and were described by US officials as preemptive measures to prevent mining of the Strait of Hormuz. Additional explosions were reported in Chabahar and other locations in the region.
