On the 12th local time, a US-led maritime information center said the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz off Oman's coast remains open to two-way traffic despite Iranian claims the strait had been closed. The center said US forces are prepared, under international law, to defend freedom of navigation and lawful commercial activity. It added the security threat level in and around the strait remains "serious".

On the 12th the IRGC public relations office said Iran struck a second "unauthorized vessel" in the Strait of Hormuz and forced it to stop, saying the action was in response to continued US strikes on Iranian coastal military bases. The statement said that in a second-stage reprisal Iran used ballistic missiles to strike the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, targeting the base's fighter maintenance support center and its command-and-control center.
