The United States launched fresh airstrikes on Iranian military targets after accusing Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of attacking a Cyprus-flagged civilian container ship in the Strait of Hormuz. The vessel caught fire and suffered severe damage, with one crew member reported missing. Washington said the strikes targeted missile, drone and surveillance infrastructure linked to the attack, while Iran condemned the operation and vowed retaliation. The latest escalation has renewed concerns over maritime security and global energy supplies through the strategic waterway. #Iran #US #StraitOfHormuz #WestAsia #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #USIranConflict #Hormuz #GlobalOil #WorldNews Thank you for watching our video!
