US Air Force aircraft carried out at least two strikes on the Iranian port city of Sirik in Hormozgan Province early Tuesday, according to reports from Al Manar TV.

The attacks target a key logistical node within the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil and gas shipments.

No immediate information on casualties or specific damage to port infrastructure has been confirmed.

The strikes represent a sharp escalation in the ongoing military confrontation between the United States and Iran.

This development follows recent reports that Iranian forces targeted commercial tankers with cruise missiles in the same corridor, prompting a new round of US military responses.

The simultaneous targeting of port infrastructure and commercial shipping signals a broadening of the conflict’s operational scope, directly threatening the safety of maritime transit routes.
