The U.S. military has launched new strikes against Iran. The strikes began early Wednesday, hours after three merchant ships were struck in the Strait of Hormuz.

A similar spate of Iranian attacks on shipping and U.S. retaliation occurred late last month. Read moreUS launches new strikes against Iran after three ships were hit in Strait of Hormuz
