US and Iran trade strikes for first time in weeks

Iran and the US have traded strikes after American forces attacked two rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz.

The US strike is the first known attack on Iran since President Donald Trump paused a renewed military campaign in late July.

US Central Command (Centcom) said it took "limited, precise action" after observing Iran preparing to "launch rockets and deploy sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz", according to its spokesperson.
