Larak Island Strike Puts Hormuz on Edge

A US strike on Iran’s Larak Island has pushed the Strait of Hormuz back to the brink.

As the US-Iran war enters its seventh month, American forces targeted Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island, near the strategic entrance to the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded with a claimed missile and drone attack on American-linked bases in Jordan, while competing reports of tanker attacks, naval mines and intercepted drones added to growing uncertainty across the Gulf.

In this episode of Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast, we break down the Larak Island strike, Iran’s response, and what the latest escalation could mean for the Strait of Hormuz and global oil markets. We also examine President Trump’s AI-generated video appearing to show Iran’s Kharg Island under attack, Tehran’s disputed tanker claims, rising oil prices, and the dangerous mix of confirmed incidents and competing disinformation now shaping the conflict at sea.

Plus: Iran, Russia and China meet at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit; Pakistan’s diplomatic proposal to Tehran; Iran’s worsening gasoline crisis; Washington’s expanding sanctions campaign; and the growing confrontation over Iran-backed militias in Iraq.

The US-Iran war may have entered a slower phase, but Larak Island has shown how quickly the conflict can flare up again. With the Strait of Hormuz still under pressure, oil markets rising, and diplomacy struggling to gain traction, the path toward an end to this war remains as uncertain as ever.
