Iran says it struck multiple US targets in response to attack on Larak Island

伊朗称打击多个美军目标以回应拉腊克岛遭袭

Iran's Foreign Ministry and military announced on August 31 that, in retaliation for a US strike on Iran's Larak Island, Iranian forces attacked US military targets in Jordan and the UAE and shot down a US MQ-9 drone. The US attack on August 30 reportedly caused casualties on Larak Island. Iran described its actions as defensive and deterrent. The UAE denied that its Al Minhad Air Base was hit, calling media reports false.

The view from inside

The article, sourced from Xinhua, presents Iran's actions as a legitimate response to US aggression, framing the US strike as a violation of Iran's sovereignty.
