Trump: US strikes Iran targets near Strait of Hormuz

President Trump announced on Truth Social that the United States is currently striking targets inside Iran near the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said the action came "in retaliation for the Iranians' failed attempt at adding sea mines to the Strait," pointing to an alleged Iranian effort to sabotage the critical shipping lane. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most vital oil transit chokepoints, and any military action there carries major implications for global energy markets and regional security. BreakFirst has not yet independently verified details of the strikes or Iran's alleged mine attempt beyond the president's post. This is a developing story and will be updated as official confirmation from the Pentagon or other agencies becomes available.
