The USA has launched an offensive to unblock the Strait of Hormuz

The United States has launched an offensive to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, mobilizing fighter jets flying at low altitude and Apache helicopters to neutralize Iranian threats.

The strait, through which one-fifth of the world's oil passes, has been effectively closed due to Iran's threats to attack commercial vessels.

The Pentagon is conducting a complex operation to reduce the dangers posed by armed vessels and Iranian mines.

Oil prices have risen significantly as a result of the closure of the strait, and the U.S. has accelerated troop deployments in the region.

General Dan Caine confirmed the engagement of A-10 aircraft and Apache helicopters in attacks against Iranian facilities.

Although the U.S. aims to restore navigation safety, experts warn that Iran still possesses significant resources, and regaining full control could take weeks. Additionally, Iran has begun to develop plans to allow selective passage of certain vessels, further complicating the situation.
