Iran war is no longer a contest over just the Strait of Hormuz

Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz and attacked a Cyprus-flagged container ship, prompting the United States to launch strikes on 140 targets, including locations along the strait and a bridge in Golestan province. The US strikes occurred in response to Iran's actions, with one strike targeting the Aq Taqeh Khan bridge in Aq Qala.
