Last night, the US carried out a small wave of airstrikes against southern Iran, hitting the naval base in Bandar-Bajsk and launching cruise missiles against ships on Kashem Island. Barak Ravid of Axios reported that these were "self-defense attacks", but has since deleted his post. The Paytox network, citing a CENTCOM official, reports that the US Air Force attacked a missile launcher on Kashem Island after it launched missiles.
