"IRGC Aerospace Force has responded the American strike on Larak island with targeting technical infrastructure of the enemy in Malek Hossein and Al Azraq bases in Jordan with ballistic missiles and caused intense damages"

The statement added:

"The IRGC warns that aggression and crime will not overcome the enemy’s desperation at its inability to weaken the Islamic Republic’s control over the Strait of Hormuz. Every shot will be met with an even more crushing response."
