The United States army confirmed the execution of a "precision" attack against two platforms intended for launching rocket-propelled mines in the Strait of Hormuz. The military action was carried out by American armed forces against Iranian targets.
The targeted platforms were used by Tehran to prepare the launching of mines in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important maritime routes in the world for oil transportation. Iran was preparing to launch these devices when it was targeted by the American attack.
The Strait of Hormuz is a waterway of fundamental geopolitical importance, through which a large part of the world's oil trade passes. This region has been frequently a scene of tensions between the United States and Iran.
This precision attack represents another episode in the tense conflict between Washington and Tehran, at a time when relations between the two countries continue to be marked by great hostility and direct military confrontations.
