US forces struck two Iranian launchers on Larak Island preparing to deploy sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz, marking the first US strikes on Iran in weeks and escalating the conflict. Trump's Venezuela oil deal, granting US majority control of reserves and plans to refill the SPR, acts as a counter-signal to oil supply concerns from the Hormuz disruption. US military chiefs warned Defense Secretary Hegseth that the Iran war is unsustainable and overstretching resources, potentially limiting further escalation.
