🇺🇸🇮🇷 THE U.S. RETURNS TO ATTACK IRAN IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ
This Sunday, the United States carried out another military operation against Iran, striking two Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. This is the first American military action in the region in weeks. (The Wall Street Journal)
According to the U.S. Central Command, the launchers—controlled by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)—were reportedly prepared to fire rockets equipped with naval mines, threatening one of the world’s main routes for transporting oil.
Tehran condemned the attack and vowed consequences, increasing the risk of a new military escalation. The incident comes precisely as Washington tries to combine economic pressure and sanctions with a military containment policy.
The impact has already reached markets: Brent crude rose by more than 2%, reflecting fears of further disruptions to shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. (Reuters)
🌍 Hormuz remains the flashpoint: any escalation in this region could affect not only the U.S. and Iran, but also global energy prices, maritime trade, and the world economy.
