An "Axios" reporter, quoting an American source, reported on Monday: "On Monday night, the Revolutionary Guards fired a missile from Kashem Island at an American military plane in the skies over the Strait of Hormuz." Following this action, "the American fighter jet destroyed the surface-to-air missile launcher in order to protect itself." Previously, The Wall Street Journal confirmed Monday evening's US attack on Kesham Island in a report citing US officials.
