US military strikes Iranian missile sites near Strait of Hormuz with powerful bunker buster bombs.

US military strikes Iranian missile sites near Strait of Hormuz with powerful bunker buster bombs. The operation targeted anti-ship cruise missiles positioned along Iran's coastline using multiple 5,000-pound deep penetrator munitions. Each bomb costs approximately $288,000. The strategic action comes after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway through which roughly one-fifth of global oil supplies flow. The closure was in retaliation for military actions by the United States and Israel. These Iranian missile sites posed significant risks to international shipping and commerce in one of the world's most economically vital maritime passages. The bombing raid underscores escalating geopolitical tensions affecting global energy markets and international trade routes.
