The US military on Tuesday launched powerful strikes against Iran.

The latest military strikes come in retaliation for the Iranians attacking vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

Earlier Tuesday, Tehran struck three ships, including a Qatari natural gas vessel.

The US called Iran’s attacks on the commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz “a clear violation of the ceasefire.”
