On Sunday, the Americans observed that the Iranians were preparing to launch two missiles carrying mines that were to be dropped in the strait. They therefore took out the missiles on Larak Island.

“Testing our resolve again will only make the price of your humiliating defeat even higher,” Ebrahim Azizi said in a post on X. He is the head of parliament.
“There is no doubt that no crime, regardless of its scale, goes unpunished; a response that will be devastating, even more painful and instructive, and that will complete the chain of your failures,” he added, before warning Washington: “Wait in fear and terror!”
“Test our resolve one more time, and pay a higher price. Retaliation is coming,” Azizi said, before adding: “JUST RUN!”
