US military strikes Iranian targets near Strait of Hormuz following naval missile attacks

United States forces conducted a series of large-scale strikes against Iranian targets near the strategic Strait of Hormuz following an attempted deployment of naval mines and ballistic missile launches by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps against two American warships. Military officials stated that naval mines in the area have since been neutralized.

The conflict has increasingly expanded to target commercial maritime fleets and energy infrastructure. US President Donald Trump warned of severe military actions against Iranian assets if attacks on shipping lanes persist, promising retaliatory strikes against energy targets. Media analyses note that targeting energy networks marks an evolving phase of modern conflict, where economic infrastructure and drone capabilities play a central strategic role in military operations.
