️🇺🇸🇮🇷 AJ: According to reports, an American warplane destroyed an Iranian surface-to-air missile launcher on Kashem Island, near the Strait of Hormuz, after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) allegedly fired a missile at an American military aircraft.
According to a US official quoted by Axios journalist Barak Ravid, the Revolutionary Guards launched the missile from Kashem Island on Monday evening, November 2, prompting the US warplane to hit the launcher in what Washington described as an act of self-defense.
