The United States and Iran have launched strikes again after a quiet period of several weeks. This is the first time the US is known to have carried out an attack since late July.
According to reports, the US strike targeted Larak Island, located in the Strait of Hormuz. The attack killed two people and injured two others. The Strait of Hormuz is a key shipping route, so events there can affect the region.
Iran also announced that it carried out an attack. Both countries have been trading actions and warnings, and the latest strikes show that tensions remain high. Observers say the situation could worsen quickly if both sides continue to respond.
