U.S. Strikes Iranian Rocket Launchers on the Strait of Hormuz
U.S. officials said 20 to 30 tankers are using the southern channel nightly, carrying about half the pre-war volume.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump declared the Strait of Hormuz open after Navy and CENTCOM operations weakened Iranian control over internationally recognized shipping lanes.
- CENTCOM began independently expanding access after the June 17 memorandum between Washington and Tehran collapsed, launching a two-week bombing campaign targeting the IRGC's ability to attack shipping.
- Navy divers removed over 200 mine-like objects, though CENTCOM officials confirmed only 11 were actual mines. Currently, 20 to 30 tankers traverse the southern channel nightly, carrying 9 to 10 million barrels.
- Bahrain and Kuwait have joined the protected operation alongside the UAE, while Saudi Arabia is expected to participate, further securing the route against Iranian threats.
- Brent crude prices previously spiked to $126 amid threats, though traffic remains below pre-war $72 levels. President Donald Trump described the Iranian response as "very mild," stating they avoid retaliation.
