BREAKING: The U.S. has reportedly struck Iran’s Konarak Naval Base on the country’s southeastern coast, hitting a 35mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft cannon with two projectiles around 1 a.m. local time on October 19 and wounding two Iranian Navy personnel, per an Iranian Navy spokesperson cited by Al Jazeera. The spokesperson said the projectiles were fired by American forces, while local reports recorded two explosions in the Konarak area. The strike may have involved a U.S. Air Force MQ-9 Reaper drone firing an AGM-114 Hellfire missile after the cannon opened fire. The last reported U.S. strike on Iranian soil was on September 1, nearly seven weeks ago. Iran is now likely to respond, potentially marking the beginning of a new round of direct U.S.-Iran military confrontation.
