Dalam Angka
American outlet Axios reported that the US military struck two official Iranian tankers and approximately 100 targets in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, stating this move was part of a new Trump-approved "tanker for tanker" policy. The strikes were carried out to "mow the grass" and reduce risk in response to Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attempts against merchant vessels.
The White House and Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed the strikes targeted Iran's air defense, radar, mining capabilities, and launch platforms, adding that this ensured commercial shipping passed through the strait in relative calm for at least a month. On Tuesday, approximately 40 ships transited the strait safely, and none of the missiles and rockets fired by Iran hit any vessel.
CENTCOM spokesman Captain Tim Hawkins denied Iranian media claims that 4 civilians died in a wedding strike, stating "The US military never targets civilians." A US official used the phrase "Iran lost control of the Strait of Hormuz and the conflict, gained nothing."
