US military conducts strikes on Iranian targets near Strait of Hormuz

US Central Command has completed a series of large-scale strikes against Iranian military targets near the Strait of Hormuz. According to military officials, the operation followed an unsuccessful attempt by Iranian forces to lay sea mines in the strategic shipping corridor, which have since been neutralized.

The military action follows a September 5 confrontation where US forces targeted three Iranian oil tankers after Iranian forces launched ballistic missiles at two American warships. US President Donald Trump has warned of severe retaliation against Iranian infrastructure if attacks on maritime trade persist. Analysts note the confrontation has increasingly evolved into drone-driven warfare aimed directly at commercial shipping, presenting significant risks to global energy security.
