The official said the operation does not affect the ceasefire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, preliminary reports said several missiles had struck the air base. \u201cMoments ago, the impact of 3 missiles on Bandar Abbas Air Base,\u201d a journalist close to Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/faytuks\/status\/2059763714908099007\">Faytuks News<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reports did not identify what was targeted or whether there were casualties or damage, while other reports indicated that Iranian air defenses had been activated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The operation comes two days after U.S. forces carried out what the U.S. military described as \u201cself-defense\u201d strikes in southern Iran, targeting missile launch sites and Iranian boats that were allegedly attempting to place mines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A senior U.S. official <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JenGriffinFNC\/status\/2059048407008719031\">told Fox News<\/a> at the time that two Iranian boats had been caught laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz and that the U.S. military eliminated both IRGC vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same official said U.S. forces also struck a surface-to-air missile site in Bandar Abbas that was targeting U.S. warplanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese were defensive strikes,\u201d the official told Fox News. Two well-placed sources told the outlet the strikes did not indicate that the ceasefire was over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Trump said earlier this week that negotiations with Iran were continuing over a deal that would include reopening the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States carried out &#8220;defensive&#8221; strikes in Bandar Abbas, Iran, after missiles were reported to have struck an air base in the area, according to reports.
