US military forces struck Iranian targets and oil tankers near the Strait of Hormuz following IRGC missile launches and sea-mining attempts.

The United States military has conducted extensive strikes against Iranian positions near the Strait of Hormuz following Iranian attempts to deploy sea mines and launch ballistic missiles at two American warships. United States Central Command confirmed the action targeted military infrastructure alongside three Iranian commercial oil tankers.

The retaliatory operation comes amid intensified warnings from U.S. President Donald Trump, who stated that Tehran faces severe damage to its energy grid and domestic infrastructure if attacks on maritime shipping continue. Military analysts observe that the ongoing confrontation marks a strategic shift toward energy warfare, marked by direct strikes on commercial fleets and critical trade routes.
