Iran has launched another wave of missile attacks targeting tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and neighboring Gulf countries. The Iranian military reportedly attacked two tankers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Mobaso and al-Bahijo, and expanded their strikes to other tankers without permission to cross the strait. The UAE has warned they will respond to these provocations. Meanwhile, the U.S. responded by attacking Iranian naval capabilities, including ports, airports, and missile launch sites. One of the main targets was the port of Bandar Abbas, frequently used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) for attacks on civilian ships. The U.S. also struck oil export facilities on the island of Kish, airports in Saravan, Bushehr, and Ahvaz, as well as naval bases in Konarak and Chabahar. In addition, the U.S. targeted locations in Parachin, Pakdash, and Kiyamdash. These actions follow earlier tensions between the U.S. and Iran, where the U.S. had initially backed down after threats from President Trump but later retaliated against Iranian attacks.
