Iranian state media reported that the United States struck Larak Island, a small island in the Persian Gulf off southern Iran, at approximately 14:51 Jerusalem. The report follows an earlier unverified claim by security analyst Yair Goldblatt, who at 14:45 cited Iranian media reports of an attack on the island. The Zioneer reported that earlier claim at 14:45.
No details on the target, damage, or casualties have been released. The nature of the strike—whether an airstrike, missile strike, or other—remains unspecified. The report is unverified by independent sources, and neither the US nor Iranian officials have commented.
The Zioneer has previously reported unverified claims of US strikes on several Iranian islands, including Hengam (June 11), Sirik (July 13), and Lavan (July 8). Those reports remain unconfirmed, and the current report is similarly unverified.
