US military targets Iranian oil tankers following missile launches in Strait of Hormuz

The conflict between the United States and Iran has escalated as U.S. Central Command conducted broad military strikes near the Strait of Hormuz. The strikes followed Iranian attempts to deploy naval mines and launch ballistic missiles at American warships. U.S. operations also targeted three Iranian commercial oil tankers, marking an expansion of direct military actions into commercial shipping networks.

In response to ongoing hostilities, U.S. President Donald Trump warned that "very little will be left of Iran" if attacks persist. Analysts highlight that the confrontation reflects a transition toward energy warfare, where drone strikes and attacks on maritime energy corridors play a central role.
