Barak Ravid, the reporter for the American publication Axios, also says that an American official told him that on Monday night the Revolutionary Guards fired a missile from Kashem Island at an American plane in the Strait of Hormuz. Following this action, the American fighter jet destroyed the self-defense surface-to-air missile launch system.
Hours before, there were reports of several explosions heard in the southern areas of Kesham Island, and at the same time, the Revolutionary Guards claimed to have landed two American drones on this Iranian island.
CENTCOM - the headquarters of the US military's Central Command - which usually announces the start and end of attacks against Iran on Channel X, has not yet responded to the reports.
