The United States says it has carried out strikes against Iranian naval vessels near the Strait of Hormuz, claiming that multiple ships involved in potential maritime operations were targeted. According to US officials, the strikes included 16 Iranian minelayers, vessels believed capable of deploying naval mines in one of the world’s most critical shipping corridors. The Strait of Hormuz is a strategic waterway through which a significant share of global oil shipments passes every day. US authorities said the action was intended to prevent threats to international maritime security and ensure freedom of navigation in the region. Officials warned that any disruption in the strait could have serious implications for global energy markets and international trade.
