US strikes Iran missile launchers on Larak Island; Hormuz mining capability questioned

The US struck missile launchers on Larak Island, claiming they were prepared to fire sea mine-carrying rockets. The operational viability of such a system is uncertain, but the strike signals escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil transit. This development raises the risk of disruption to energy flows and potential broader conflict.
