The United States military has intercepted and destroyed Iranian drones that were targeting commercial shipping in the Strait of Harmuz, a critical waterway for global oil trade. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed the operation, stating that "the international trade corridor remains open for transit." No injuries or damage to vessels were reported. The drones were launched from Iranian territory, according to U.S. officials, who did not specify the number of drones shot down. The Strait of Hormuz handles about one-fifth of the world's oil supply, making it a strategic chokepoint.
