US targets Iranian maritime assets following missile attacks in Strait of Hormuz

The United States military has carried out strikes against Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz following an escalation involving commercial and naval vessels. According to military reports, US forces hit three Iranian oil tankers and military positions after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched ballistic missiles at two American warships and attempted to deploy naval mines. US Central Command confirmed the mines were successfully removed or destroyed.

The retaliatory strikes follow intensified rhetoric from US President Donald Trump, who warned that "very little will remain of Iran" if attacks against commercial maritime shipping persist. Analysts note that targeting energy infrastructure and commercial fleets marks a transition into a new era of energy warfare, where civilian power grids and commercial shipping face direct threats.
