Iran fires drones and missiles in response to US strikes, Iranian semiofficial media says
Iranian semiofficial media said missiles and drones were launched after U.S. strikes, as energy prices rose about 5%, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Iranian armed forces launched missiles and drones in response to U.S. strikes, with the Armed Forces General Staff vowing to deliver "crushing and devastating blows" against the United States.
- Central Command conducted precise strikes against Iranian rocket launchers and minelaying forces in the Strait of Hormuz to eliminate an imminent threat to commercial shipping and U.S. personnel.
- Iranian state television reported U.S. strikes hit a fishmeal factory on Qeshm Island and civilian infrastructure in Hormozgan province, while Tehran claims 20% of the world's oil transits the narrow waterway it asserts it controls.
- Crude prices rose about 7% this week, pushing U.S. regular gasoline to $4.10 a gallon, creating political risks for Republicans ahead of November's midterm elections.
- Military operations face challenges from diminishing U.S. stockpiles of advanced interceptors, forcing a strategic balance; President Donald Trump acknowledged Monday that additional retaliatory strikes might be necessary.
