United States strikes Iranian targets following escalating attacks near Strait of Hormuz

The United States Central Command launched military strikes against Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz following Iranian ballistic missile attacks on two American warships and attempts to deploy sea mines. U.S. military officials stated that all naval mines in international lanes have since been cleared. The strikes targeted military assets as well as three commercial oil tankers, marking an expansion of direct military actions into commercial shipping corridors. U.S. President Donald Trump warned of potential strikes against domestic Iranian infrastructure if attacks continue, asserting that "very little of Iran will be left" if disruptions persist. Analysts highlighted that the escalation reflects an emerging phase of fifth-generation warfare centered on drone technology and energy infrastructure.
