U.S. Strikes Target Iran’s Hormuz Leverage | San Francisco News

U.S. airstrikes intensify against Iran, targeting bridges and a key Chabahar port surveillance tower — part of a escalating campaign to pressure Iran over its control of the Strait of Hormuz. With the ceasefire broken and days of retaliatory strikes between the two nations, Iran reports over 35 dead and 300+ injured. The conflict, ignited by U.S. and Israeli strikes on Feb. 28, saw Iran shut down shipping in the Strait, sending oil prices soaring and boosting its leverage. This latest round — the sixth straight night of U.S. attacks — also hit Hormozgan province, killing at least seven. Defense Secretary confirms damage to the port tower, which Iran admits was struck but hasn’t confirmed its collapse — a blow to Afghanistan’s vital trade corridor.
