US Military Reports Striking 8,000 Targets in Iran Over Three Weeks

The United States military has struck 8,000 targets in Iran during a three-week period of American-Israeli attacks that began in late February. The military operations have severely disrupted maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, with shipping nearly coming to a halt since the strikes began. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical waterway through which approximately 20 percent of global oil supplies pass, making it one of the world's most strategically important maritime chokepoints.
