US strikes Iranian oil tankers as Trump threatens energy infrastructure

United States forces have conducted strikes against three Iranian commercial oil tankers in response to Iranian ballistic missile attacks directed at two American warships. According to military reports, US Central Command launched extensive operations near the Strait of Hormuz after Iranian forces attempted to lay naval mines and fire additional missiles in the region.

US President Donald Trump warned that continued disruptions to international maritime traffic could prompt direct military strikes on Iranian civilian and energy infrastructure, including power plants and bridges. Analysts suggest that expanding targeting to include commercial oil vessels and energy supply networks signals an evolution toward fifth-generation warfare, where critical economic and civilian assets become primary operational targets.
