The U.S. military stated on Sunday that it had concluded a recent campaign of airstrikes against Iran, which included targeting the Revolutionary Guard. These actions were reportedly undertaken in response to an attack in Jordan that the U.S. said resulted in the deaths of American troops.

US Central Command stated that it struck two rocket launchers on Larak Island, asserting the action was intended to prevent Iran from deploying sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz. In response, Iran's state media reported that the Revolutionary Guard Corps retaliated with ballistic missile attacks on US-operated airbases in Jordan, claiming significant damage to technical infrastructure.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the administration plans to impose new sanctions on a bank this week to pressure Iran, while acknowledging that hostilities flared on Sunday after US forces struck Iranian rocket launchers in the Strait of Hormuz.

Although officials have signaled a strategic shift toward economic measures to isolate Iran, the administration continues to rely primarily on warnings rather than new restrictions on third-party trading partners, with Bessent indicating he will discuss these issues with Chinese counterparts at the upcoming G20 meetings.

U.S. forces struck rocket launchers in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, an action described by U.S. officials as a response to observed preparations by the Revolutionary Guard Corps to deploy sea mines, following a period of reduced military activity.

Iranian state media reported casualties resulting from the incident, which occurred days after the U.S. administration announced a strategic shift toward economic sanctions rather than direct military engagement.
