He would be the first to say he doesn&#8217;t make announcements about military actions on social media, but I think that he&#8217;s sending a message to the Iranians,&#8221; Vance said.<span

country&#8217;s oil exports before the war was launched by US and Israeli attacks on February 28.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Any attack on the island could severely disrupt Iran&#8217;s energy trade and place further pressure on its economy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>In the first known US military strikes since late July, American forces attacked two Iranian launchers on Larak Island, according to a US official.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>The escalation came after more than a month without significant fighting in the conflict.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Iran subsequently launched missiles at US sites in Jordan, with the missiles intercepted.<span class=\"id-r-component br\"
