US Strikes on Iran Trigger Missile, Drone Retaliation Near Strait of Hormuz
Iran responded with missiles and drones after U.S. strikes on IRGC targets, and officials said a wedding venue attack killed four people.
- On Tuesday, US Central Command struck Iranian positions near the Strait of Hormuz, hitting around 100 targets including defense sites, radar systems, and anti-ship cruise missile launchers to counter shipping threats.
- US strikes followed alleged minelaying operations by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, with officials confirming a new "tanker for tanker" policy approved by President Donald Trump in response to attacks on commercial vessels.
- Strikes in Khuzestan province resulted in multiple casualties, with the Iranian Red Crescent confirming four people, including a child, died after shrapnel struck a home where a wedding ceremony was taking place in Sirik.
- Retaliatory missile fire from Tehran targeted US military sites in Jordan, while the IRGC vowed to "tighten the lock" on the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway carrying roughly 20% of global oil.
- According to the Hormuz Strait Monitor, maritime traffic in the vital waterway has remained muted, with crude prices rising more than 50% this year as traffic volumes dropped below the 10-day average of around 13 vessels.
