USA confirm "precision" attack against Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz

The United States army confirmed the carrying out of a "precision" attack against two platforms intended for launching rockets with mines that Tehran was preparing to launch in the Strait of Hormuz. The attack was carried out the day before the confirmation and targeted Iranian infrastructure in the strategic region of the Strait of Hormuz. The attacked platforms were prepared to fire naval mines in that crucial waterway for global oil transportation. This episode represents another moment of tension between the USA and Iran in the broader context of the conflict in the Middle East.
