美國官員表示，伊朗似乎針對在霍爾木茲海峽航行的船隻。海峽的交通流動仍在持續。

Samir Puri, senior fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Singapore, said overnight US-Iran strikes are the most serious escalation in exchanges since an April ceasefire and "are unlikely to cool soon." He said diplomatic space remains but warned the situation could worsen. Puri added that Trump and PENTAGON minister Hegseth framed the strikes as "punishment for Iran's downing of a US Apache helicopter and other violations." Recent US strikes hit Abbas Port and Qeshm Island; Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps acknowledged some radar facilities were struck. The actions have prompted speculation the US may be seeking to physically degrade Iran's surveillance of the Strait of Hormuz and its anti-ship strike capabilities.
