US Plans Limited Strikes on Iran's Strait of Hormuz
A US plan for possible limited strikes on Iran in the Strait of Hormuz aims to reduce the risk of Iranian attacks on oil tankers and US forces. According to a US official, this approach is an effort to 'mow the lawn,' which means to maintain a low level of military presence.
The proposed strikes would target areas where Iran has rebuilt its radar, air-defense, and anti-ship missile capabilities around the strait. The goal is to prevent Iran from rebuilding these capabilities in the future.
