American forces respond to Iran's Houthi‑style strikes on commercial vessels

According to a briefing by the U.S. Central Command, the attacks on three cargo carriers in the Hormuz corridor were carried out with unknown projectiles, causing fires and minor structural damage but no loss of life. In retaliation, U.S. warships and aircraft targeted radar sites and launch positions linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Navy. The operation was described as a "swift and decisive" measure to protect the free flow of trade through one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints.
