The U.S. military says it used precise munitions to hit dozens of targets in Iran late Sunday, degrading Tehran\u2019s ability to attack international shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

U.S. Central Command said it struck Iranian military air-defense systems and coastal radar sites, plus missile and drone capabilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade. Iran does not control it,\u201d the command said.<\/p>\n

Tehran says it must maintain some control over the waterway, however, resulting in new tensions in the strait and a volley of tit-for-tat strikes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Iran retaliated on Monday by lashing out at American partners in the Persian Gulf region. Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain reported incoming missiles that had to be intercepted.<\/p>\n

State media in Iran also reported Monday that U.S. forces had struck a water pumping station in southwestern Khuzestan province.<\/p>\n\n

Violence in the oil-rich region is causing energy shocks. Brent crude prices rose roughly 6% on Monday to $77 per barrel.<\/p>\n

The average U.S. gas price stood at $3.87 per gallon on Monday, a 7-cent increase from a week ago and up from around $3 per gallon when the war began on Feb. 28, according to the AAA motor club.<\/p>\n

Oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz had increased significantly after the U.S. and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The agreement required Iran to halt attacks on commercial ships and charge no tolls for at least 60 days while negotiators drafted a final peace agreement.<\/p>\n

But tensions over who controls the waterway flared up last week, causing successful passage through the strait to plummet again.<\/p>\n

Iranian forces struck several tankers reportedly traveling through the strait in Omani waters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officials in Tehran say ships must travel through preapproved routes and work with the Iranian military to transit safely.<\/p>\n

The U.S. said the strikes were a violation of the ceasefire in the memorandum, so Mr. Trump ordered strikes on Iranian targets in response.<\/p>\n
