The US military reportedly escorted 40 oil tankers carrying about 18 million barrels through the Strait of Hormuz in one day after striking 60 targets. The operation represents a major expansion in the scale of US activity around the strategic chokepoint.

Large-scale military action and tanker escorts at the Strait of Hormuz raise the risk of wider regional conflict and disruption to global energy supplies.
