The island, seized by Iran since 1971 from what would become the United Arab Emirates, is viewed as a strategic point in the strait.

Central Command said it launched a 90-minute attack targeting the island.

“The strikes further degraded Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,” it said.
