American military forces executed a series of large-scale strikes targeting Iranian military infrastructure in response to alleged sea-mining activities in the Strait of Hormuz. According to U.S. Central Command, the operations hit Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps air defense positions, radar stations, communications hubs, and naval installations near Larak Island and coastal areas. President Donald Trump described the military action as a direct response to threats against commercial shipping. Following the bombardment, Iran launched retaliatory ballistic missile and drone attacks against U.S. military bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Iraq, raising regional security concerns and driving global crude oil prices significantly higher.
