US conducts fresh strikes on Iranian targets as Trump warns of infrastructure attacks

U.S. forces launched fresh strikes on Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz as President Trump threatened attacks on Iranian power infrastructure over maritime escalations.
U.S. Central Command carried out additional strikes against Iranian military positions near the Strait of Hormuz following an attempted Iranian naval mining operation and ballistic missile launches against American warships. U.S. forces also targeted three Iranian oil tankers, expanding direct military actions to commercial maritime traffic.
President Donald Trump issued further warnings, threatening retaliatory attacks against Iran's power plants, energy infrastructure, and bridges if threats to regional shipping continue.
Military analysts noted that the escalation reflects an era of "energy warfare" and fifth-generation conflict. This shift is characterized by heavy reliance on drone systems and targeting civilian infrastructure to exert geopolitical pressure. U.S. officials confirmed that international shipping corridors in the strait have been cleared of explosive devices.
