Once again the situation in the Middle East has become very tense. There are continuous attacks from both America and Iran. Iran has taken large-scale military action in the Middle East in response to the latest US air strikes on several Iranian cities. The Iranian army launched strong attacks on major US military bases located in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan. Besides, two oil tankers have also been targeted in the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Iran’s state news agency, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has retaliated against US forces, specifically targeting US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan. Earlier, the US Army’s Central Command (CENTCOM) had attacked several targets in Iran and said that these attacks were carried out in self-defense.

At the same time, after America’s new attacks on Iran, IRGC announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Following this announcement, Iranian state media reported that the IRGC had attacked two ships in the Strait of Hormuz. This ship was trying to pass through Hormuz without Iran’s permission and illegally.

On the other hand, American attacks have caused massive devastation in Iran’s coastal areas like Qeshm Island, Bandar Abbas, Serik and Karagan. There are also reports of some people being injured. This entire conflict started when Iran shot down an American Apache helicopter flying over the Strait of Hormuz. After this, a series of missile and drone attacks started between the two sides.
