U.S. Central Command forces are conducting airstrikes on several targets near Iran’s key oil export hubs, Kharg Island and Jask. The strikes are aimed at tankers and do not represent a new phase of offensive involving ground troops.

The operation targets maritime assets in these strategic zones, reflecting a focused effort to disrupt oil-related activities rather than an escalation into land-based conflict.

Military officials emphasize that these precision strikes are limited in scope, targeting vessels in the vicinity of the export terminals without engaging in broader ground combat.
