The US unleashed its military might on Iran after the regime attacked a commercial vessel and declared the Strait of Hormuz closed Saturday.

“Iran made a poor choice. Now they pay,” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth posted on X.

The Islamic Republic attacked the M/V GFS Galaxy, a container vessel hailing the flag of Cyprus, according to United States Central Command.

A civilian crew member from the ship is now missing and the vessel suffered significant engine room damage in the strikes, CENTCOM added.

The agency vowed that Tehran would pay a “heavy cost” and said that the retaliation, which began at 7:15 Eastern Time, was being carried out under the direction of the commander in chief, President Trump.

“Iran was provided yet another opportunity to demonstrate adherence to the Memorandum of Understanding after being held accountable for earlier attacks on commercial vessels but has again failed,” CENTCOM said in a statement on X.
