On Thursday, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards announced they had executed retaliatory strikes on a US air base following US military actions near Bandar Abbas, a key port city in Iran. The strikes were in response to what Iran termed an 'aggression' by US forces, who had conducted airstrikes targeting Iranian military infrastructure in southern Iran, claiming these actions were necessary for self-defense against Iranian drone threats. The US Central Command reported intercepting four Iranian drones that posed a risk in the Strait of Hormuz. Bandar Abbas holds significant geopolitical importance due to its location at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital corridor for global oil supplies. The escalation occurs amid fragile ceasefire negotiations between Washington and Tehran, which aim to resolve ongoing conflicts that have disrupted shipping and increased global energy prices. Iran has warned that further US aggression will elicit a more forceful response, heightening tensions in the region.
