US says it struck targets in Iran over ‘continued aggression’ against shipping

The US has retaliated against Iran with strikes targeting military surveillance infrastructure, following a drone attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz. This escalation underscores the ongoing tensions between the two nations, which have been heightened by recent aggressive actions against commercial shipping. The move aims to curb what the US Central Command describes as "continued Iranian aggression," potentially escalating regional tensions further. This development has significant implications for global maritime security and international relations.
