US Deploys Sea Drones in Strike on Iranian Naval Base

The Sunday strike, confirmed by CENTCOM via social media, targeted infrastructure critical to Iran’s maritime operations. Military officials stated the mission successfully degraded Tehran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping lanes. This action is part of a broader surge in hostilities, as American forces simultaneously hit radar installations, air defense systems, and missile stockpiles across the country.

President Donald Trump, who recently declared the U.S. would act as the sole "Guardian of the Hormuz Strait," announced plans to impose a 20 percent fee on all cargo vessels traversing the waterway to offset security costs. While the President asserts the strait remains open, the situation on the ground remains volatile. Local reports from Iranian news agencies indicate that U.S. strikes in an oil-producing region near the Kuwaiti and Iraqi borders resulted in two fatalities on Monday. These developments have effectively dismantled the interim diplomatic agreement reached in June, as Tehran continues to challenge international transit with warning shots fired at passing vessels.
