U.S. Targets Islands in Hormuz Strait | Global News

The U.S. military is striking three strategically vital islands in the Strait of Hormuz—Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb—long held by Iran and now key bases for its Revolutionary Guard. These islands, controlling a fifth of global oil flow, have been flashpoints since the 1970s, with Iran using them to harass shipping and launch attacks. As tensions escalate, analysts warn a full invasion would be fraught with danger amid Iran’s missile and drone defenses. This renewed U.S. focus could finally force a resolution to a decades-old dispute—and underscore the strait’s critical role in global energy security.
