# USStrikesIran

On May 25, the US military carried out "self-defense" airstrikes in southern Iran, targeting missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to lay mines. Explosions were reported in Iran's Bandar Abbas, Sirik, and other areas, with air defense systems activated. The US said the strikes were aimed at protecting its forces while maintaining restraint during the ongoing ceasefire. Geopolitical tensions have escalated again, adding to volatility in oil prices and risk assets.
