The US military is delivering strikes on Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz area, Axios journalist Barak Ravid wrote on the X social network, citing a US administration official.

"US military is conducting strikes against Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz area," he wrote on the X social network.

In his words, the strikes are being carried out in response to shots earlier fired by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) at a commercial ship in the area.
