The US has launched "powerful" strikes on Iran targeting over 80 locations, including more than 60 IRGC small boats, in response to recent attacks on three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.

• US Central Command (Centcom) stated it struck Iranian missile launch sites and command centers, aiming to impose heavy costs for targeting commercial shipping in an international waterway.
• Iran's deputy foreign minister called the US attacks a violation of a recent memorandum and warned of "decisive measures."
• Both Qatar and Saudi Arabia reported their tankers were hit and blamed Iran, which denied direct responsibility and attributed incidents to risks associated with uncoordinated shipping routes.
