Caption: U.S. Launches Major Strikes on Iran After Tanker Attacks in Strait of Hormuz. The United States launched major strikes against Iranian targets after three commercial oil tankers were attacked near Hormuz Strait. U.S. Central Command said more than eighty targets were struck, including missile sites, command centers, and Revolutionary Guard boats. Iran condemned the operation as violating last month's memorandum, warning decisive action while denying direct responsibility for tanker attacks altogether. Qatar and Saudi Arabia blamed Iran after their tankers were damaged, calling the incidents threats against global energy security. The escalating confrontation has renewed fears over oil supplies because roughly one-fifth of worldwide energy shipments pass through Hormuz daily. Despite military action, American officials insisted diplomatic negotiations with Iran would continue, though tensions across the Middle East remain extremely high.
