The United States resumed strikes on Iran on Tuesday.
The strikes came after Iran struck vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
CENTCOM posted, “U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway…The U.S. strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz.”
The U.S. began a “series of powerful strikes” against Iran on Tuesday in retaliation for Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Central Command said.
“U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway,” CENTCOM said in a post to X. “The U.S. strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s demonstrated aggression was unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire.”
The new U.S. attacks threaten to reignite conflict in the region, and could spark fears that the Strait of Hormuz will close again. Oil prices rose dramatically during the U.S.-Iran conflict, stoking inflation around the globe.
The strikes come after the U.S. and Iran traded blows last month after similar Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the strait, which is one of the world’s most critical chokepoints that Iran held shut for months this year. Both sides agreed to stand down in the days following last month’s exchange amid a tenuous ceasefire as negotiations to end the war are underway.
Qatar blamed Iran for attacking a Qatari liquefied natural gas vessel on Tuesday.
On Tuesday morning, Qatar blamed Iran for attacking Al-Rekayyat — a Qatari liquefied natural gas vessel, accusing the Islamic Republic of disrupting maritime traffic in the strait and violating international law.
The U.K. Maritime Trade Operations, which is affiliated with the British Royal Navy, said on Monday a commercial tanker caught fire after being struck by a projectile while transiting near the coast of Oman. No casualties were reported.
