Summary
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The U.S. military attacked Iran early Wednesday after it said Tehran struck three ships in the Strait of Hormuz, part of an American effort that also revoked the Islamic Republic’s ability to openly sell crude oil in the world market. A similar spate of Iranian attacks on shipping and US retaliatory strikes occurred late last month — which similarly drew Iranian attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait. Iranian state media reported the sound of explosions in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm and Sirik.
Furthermore, Iran long had been suspected of selling sanctioned crude oil at below-market prices to China. The US and many Gulf Arab states say they will not agree to Iran charging for passage through the strait. Iran has maintained a chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz since the war, disrupting global energy markets as a fifth of all traded oil and natural gas passed through the channel in peacetime.
In addition, The other two ships sustained some damage, but no one was injured, and both continued on their way in the Strait of Hormuz, the UK maritime agency said. Iran’s central military command warned it “will respond decisively to this aggression and terrorist act.” “Under no circumstances will (the Iranian armed forces) allow interference in the affairs of the Strait of Hormuz, nor will they permit others to manage it,” it said. Smoke rises at an unknown location following what the US Central Command says is a new wave of strikes against Iran on Tuesday after three tankers were hit by projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz, in this still image taken from video released Tuesday.
