US Military Launches Strikes Against Iranian Targets Amid Rising Tensions Over Shipping Attacks

The US military carried out new strikes against Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targets in Iran on Tuesday, amid ongoing tensions over recent attempted attacks against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The strikes are part of a broader response to what US officials have described as 'aggressive behavior' by Iranian forces. No further details on the nature or extent of the strikes were immediately available. The incidents follow a series of attacks on oil tankers and ships in the region over the past year.
