Iran attacks US base at Al Minhad after American strikes on Larak Island
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards attacked Al Minhad Air Base in the United Arab Emirates with dozens of drones on Monday, August 31, 2026, one day after US forces struck two Iranian launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. Tasnim reported two people killed and two injured in the US strikes. Iran also targeted bases used by the United States in Jordan. Separately, a supertanker struck two naval mines in the strait, caught fire and was immobilised. The US military said it had completed mine-clearing operations along international shipping lanes.
