The U.S. conducted its first military action in over six months on Sunday, targeting Iranian rocket launchers in the Strait of Hormuz. This move marks a return to open conflict following an intermittent war that began on February 28. Iran has vowed to retaliate for the attack, with reports indicating that Revolutionary Guard Corps forces were preparing to launch rockets with sea mines into the strait.
