Event details
CENTCOM said U.S. aircraft hit Iranian military surveillance infrastructure, communications systems, air defence sites, drone storage and minelaying capabilities in response to the Kiku attack. The Joint Maritime Information Center raised its Strait of Hormuz threat level to substantial from moderate.
Context
Minelaying capability was an explicit target, which is the clearest signal Washington expected Iran to try to close the strait physically rather than by decree.
