ABOVE VIDEO: Iran reportedly attacks ships in Strait of Hormuz
(FOX NEWS) – Iran’s top joint military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, vowed to deliver a “crushing response” after U.S. forces launched a series of strikes in the country Tuesday.
Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters described the U.S. strikes as a “blatant act of aggression” and warned that Tehran would not allow the United States to interfere with its handling of the Strait of Hormuz.
The remarks came after U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said U.S. forces struck more than 80 targets in Iran on Tuesday in response to Tehran’s attacks on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
A U.S. official told Fox News the strikes were a “direct result” of what the official described as “acts of international terrorism” against “innocent ships” traveling through the strategic waterway.
