Washington And Tehran Engage In Tit-For-Tat Strikes Over Strait Of Hormuz
The US has struck multiple Iranian tankers in response to attempted missile attacks on a Navy warship, according to a US official. This marks the latest in a series of tit-for-tat strikes between the two nations, which are seeking to exert control over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for international oil trade. The US has also imposed sanctions on Iran’s aviation industry, targeting commercial and private airlines, as well as foreign cargo service providers. The situation is part of a broader dual economic and military approach by the US to bring an end to the more than six-month-old war with Tehran, as reported by Unknown Source.
