A US fighter jet destroyed an Iranian surface to air missile launcher on Qeshm Island in self defense on Monday night after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired a missile from the island at a US aircraft in the Strait of Hormuz, US officials told Axios and Fox News. A senior official said the action responded directly to the Iranian fire and did not mark the start of expanded US strikes, while a source told NewsNation that the US operation hit radar detectors and missile launch platforms on the island.
