Trump weighing limited strikes against Iran to curb Hormuz attacks

President Donald Trump has conducted limited strikes against Iran to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Developed by CENTCOM and supported by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the operation aims to prevent Iran from reconstituting radar and missile capabilities used to attack oil tankers, U.S. Navy ships, and Air Force aircraft. While intended to reduce risks, these strikes risk escalating tensions, which could potentially destabilize global oil markets and significantly increase shipping costs across the region.
