Trump escalates Iran war with Bandar Abbas strikes and missile attacks
The United States has launched a major wave of strikes against Iranian military targets, including Bandar Abbas and Greater Tunb Island, under President Donald Trump. The operation targeted command centres, air defence systems, missile and drone capabilities, following reported attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has responded with retaliatory claims, announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and signalled further pressure through the Bab el-Mandeb gateway. As shipping traffic declines and oil prices rise, the regional crisis continues to deepen.
