U.S. strikes Iranian targets in Strait of Hormuz for 2nd straight day

According to Axios, the U.S. military struck Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, the second straight day of American attacks in the vital waterway. A U.S. official said this round was broader than the day before, hitting Iranian coastal radars, anti-ship missile positions, and air defense systems. Central Command said the strikes are meant to degrade Iran's ability to threaten freedom of navigation, framing them as a response to recent attacks on commercial ships and civilian crews. Axios notes this remains a developing story.
