Iran live updates: CENTCOM says targeted Iranian forces posed 'imminent threat'

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told reporters early on Monday that Tehran is "not looking for war, but we will give a decisive response to the aggressors," following U.S. strikes on Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces in the Strait of Hormuz area.

Before leaving Tehran for a visit to Kyrgyzstan, Pezeshkian said Iran "will never sit still in the face of any aggression," as quoted by the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency.

"Instability and unrest in the region are not in the interest of any country and will challenge everyone," Pezeshkian added.

U.S. Central Command posted to X late on Sunday describing its strikes on Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz area as "limited, precise action" against Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps "minelaying forces posing an imminent threat."

"Iran created the threat and the U.S. military eliminated it to protect civilian mariners, commercial shipping, and the free flow of global commerce," CENTCOM wrote.

Jordanian air defense systems intercepted eight missiles in its airspace early Monday morning, the country's state media reported.

The Jordanian Armed Forces were able to successfully destroy the missiles before they posed any threat to citizens or property, according to the report.

The attack on Jordan came after the United States struck two Iranian rocket launch sites on Larak Island, a U.S. official said Sunday. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said at the time that the attack "will be responded to."

United States forces on Sunday struck two Iranian rocket launch sites on Larak Island, according to a U.S. official.

IRGC forces were observed to be preparing rockets armed with sea mines for launch into the Strait of Hormuz, according to the official.

Larak Island is a small Iranian island in the Persian Gulf at the eastern end of the Strait of Hormuz.

This attack comes after U.S. Central Command and Trump last week said that the Strait had been cleared of mines.

The official said U.S. forces are monitoring the area closely and remain prepared to protect the free flow of commerce through this essential waterway.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the U.S. military's Sunday night attack "will be responded to" and "will lead to punishment of the aggressor," according to a statement published by Iran's official news agency IRNA.
