Iran, Centcom: “The attack on Larak was not an act of aggression but an act of self-defence”

Turin, 31 Aug. (LaPresse) – The US Central Command has rejected Iran’s claim that the attack on Larak Island was “an act of aggression”. “This claim is completely false,” reads a post on X by Centcom – US forces undertook limited and precise actions against the Pasdaran’s mine-laying units, which posed an imminent threat in the Strait of Hormuz.” “In essence, Iran created the threat and the US military eliminated it to protect civilian seafarers, commercial shipping and the free movement of goods globally,” Centcom concluded.
