U.S. Forces Conduct Self-Defense Strikes Against Iranian Assets in Strait of Hormuz

United States Central Command (CENTCOM) conducted precision strikes in southern Iran on May 25 to neutralize immediate threats to international shipping. The operation targeted two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) boats caught laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz and a surface-to-air missile site in Bandar Abbas that had targeted U.S. aircraft. CENTCOM spokesperson Captain Tim Hawkins stated the actions were defensive and occurred during an ongoing ceasefire, though Iranian sources reported four Guard members killed.
