US military actions and Trump threats signal shift toward energy warfare with Iran

US Central Command has completed a new series of strikes against Iranian military targets and oil tankers near the Strait of Hormuz, following missile launches by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps at two American warships and attempts to deploy naval mines. The actions reflect a significant escalation directly impacting commercial maritime oil fleets.

Amid the escalating conflict, US President Donald Trump issued severe warnings, stating that "very little will remain of Iran" if attacks on commercial shipping continue. Trump previously threatened to target Iranian civilian infrastructure, such as power grids and bridges, in response to drone or missile strikes on energy vessels. Analysts suggest these developments signal a transition into a new era of energy warfare, where civilian and commercial energy networks are increasingly targeted.
