The U.S. military has carried out airstrikes against areas in southern Iran for six consecutive nights. The U.S. Central Command confirmed that the focus of this round of strikes was the bridges and port communications hubs in Hormozgan Province. Iran reported that the strikes resulted in one civilian death and seven injuries, and announced that it responded by shooting down a U.S. MQ-9 drone. Meanwhile, the U.S. has implemented a maritime blockade policy, continuing to intercept all vessels heading to Iranian ports. Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has been drastically reduced, and risk-avoidance sentiment has intensified, directly pushing up international oil prices.
