Iran war update: August 31
- The United States hit Iranian rocket launchers stationed at the Strait of Hormuz yesterday, the first U.S. strikes against Iran since July. Iran retaliated today by striking American military assets in Jordan.
- U.S. President Donald Trump posted a fictional portrayal of a missile attack on island oil infrastructure, captioning it, “Kharg Island being blown to smithereens!” The post appears to be merely another threat from the president, but it has Internet users asking about a current or imminent attack on the key Iranian facility.
