The United States has launched a series of military strikes against Iran after three oil tankers were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, marking a sharp escalation in regional tensions. According to US Central Command, more than 80 targets were hit, including missile launch sites, command centres, and dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) boats. The US said the operation was carried out in response to attacks on commercial shipping in one of the world's busiest maritime trade routes. Iranian state media reported explosions and injuries in several southern areas, while Tehran condemned the strikes as a violation of a recent US-Iran memorandum and vowed to protect its national interests. In retaliation, the IRGC claimed it launched missiles and drones at multiple US military facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait. The latest exchange has heightened concerns over stability in the Gulf, with fears that continued military action could threaten global energy supplies and international shipping through the strategic waterway.
