U.S. forces carried out strikes in the Strait of Hormuz after attacks on ships near the Omani side of the waterway. Officials stated the operation targeted threats to commercial traffic and was not intended to restart wider hostilities.
Background on the Strait The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow passage between Iran and Oman that carries a large share of global oil shipments. Control over the route has been contested in past incidents involving shipping and naval activity.
