US resumes strikes on Iran at Larak Island; Iran drones target UAE; oil jumps

The US struck Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island that CENTCOM said were ready to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz, resuming military action after a pause. Iran retaliated with drones toward the UAE, an American ally, and oil prices rose on the escalation. The strikes signal a renewed direct US-Iran confrontation with potential for broader regional disruption.
