US Military Conducts Defensive Strikes Against Iranian Targets Near Strait of Hormuz
US forces carried out defensive attacks on Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz. Developments in the region and statements from involved parties are ongoing.
US Central Command spokesperson Navy Commander Tim Hawkins stated that the strikes on Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz were carried out in self-defense. The attacks targeted boats attempting to lay mines and missile launch sites in the Bandar Abbas area in southern Iran. During the ongoing temporary ceasefire, the US emphasized that it continues to act with restraint while protecting its forces. Semi-official Iranian media sources reported hearing explosions around Bandar Abbas and its surroundings, but Mehr news agency conveyed that the situation is under control and there is no cause for concern. While talks to end the conflict between Iran and the US continue, US President Donald Trump reiterated the demand for the removal of enriched uranium in Iran. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and US restrictions on Iranian ports have led to a rise in global fuel prices.
