US strikes Iranian tankers following missile attacks near Strait of Hormuz

The confrontation between the United States and Iran near the Strait of Hormuz has expanded into commercial maritime and energy targets. US Central Command reported strikes on Iranian military positions and three commercial oil tankers after Iranian forces launched ballistic missiles at two US warships. American forces also neutralized naval mines deployed in the critical maritime corridor.

The military actions follow renewed warnings from US President Donald Trump, who declared that attacks on oil tankers would trigger strikes against Iranian power grids and domestic energy infrastructure. Media analyses indicate a potential shift toward fifth-generation energy warfare aimed at infrastructure. Regional tensions remain elevated as military operations continue along key shipping lanes.
