The attack marks the latest escalation in the rapidly expanding regional conflict. Over the past several days, Iran has launched missile and drone attacks against multiple Gulf states, while the U.S. has carried out three consecutive nights of strikes on Iranian military targets following attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. With the U.S. naval blockade of Iran set to resume today at 4p.m. ET and commercial maritime traffic transiting the Strait of Hormuz remaining severely reduced, the risk of further regional escalation continues to grow.
