Incredible new footage shows the moment a mine-laying Iranian ship explodes after being bombed by US forces in the Strait of Hormuz.
The US said it "eliminated" more than a dozen Iranian vessels overnight after they were sent out into the vital oil shipping route to lay sea mines . It came as the Islamic Republic vowed to block the regions oil exports , saying it would not allow "even a single litre" to be shipped to its enemies.
In one clip, filmed using a night vision camera and released by US Central Command (CENTCOM) , an Iranian ship is seen in the crosshairs of a fighter jet before erupting into flames after being hit by a projectile.
Another video appears to show a ship close to port when it is hit, creating a huge fireball that rises high into the sky.
In a Truth Social post during the operation early on Wednesday morning, US President Donald Trump wrote: "I am pleased to report that within the last few hours, we have hit, and completely destroyed, 10 inactive mine laying boats and/or ships, with more to follow!"
A later statement from CENTCOM said that 16 minelaying vessels had been destroyed.
Trump had earlier demanded that Iran "immediately" remove all mines from the water, threatening "consequences to Iran" at a "level never seen before". "If, on the other hand, they remove what may have been placed, it will be a giant step in the right direction!", he added.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations centre (UKMTO) confirmed this morning that a projectile hit a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, setting the vessel ablaze. The military-run shipping monitoring service said the vessel had been hit just north of Oman in the strait, causing a large fire that forced the crew to evacuate the ship.
Iran did not immediately claim responsibility for the attack, though it has been targeting ships in and around the strait as part of its blockade on Middle East fuel exports. Around a fifth of all the world's oil and natural gas pass through the narrow waterway
The UKMTO also reported on another attack targeting a vessel off Ras al-Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates.
Two Iranian drones meanwhile struck near Dubai International Airport early this morning, and wounded four people, authorities said.
The Dubai Media Office said the attack caused "minor injuries to two Ghanaian nationals and one Bangladeshi national, and moderate injuries to one Indian national."
Flights have continued at the airport, the office said.
美军发布的一段视频显示，在至关重要的霍尔木兹海峡争夺战持续之际，多艘伊朗布雷舰艇遭战斗机摧毁。一段令人震惊的新视频记录了伊朗一艘布雷船在霍尔木兹海峡被美军轰炸后爆炸的瞬间。
美国宣称在一夜之间"清除"了十余艘伊朗船只，这些船只被派往重要石油运输航线布设水雷。此前伊朗伊斯兰共和国誓言要阻断该地区的石油出口，表示不会允许"哪怕一升"石油运往其敌对国家。
美国中央司令部（CENTCOM）发布的一段夜视摄像机拍摄的视频显示，一架战斗机的瞄准镜中锁定了一艘伊朗船只，随后该船被导弹击中并燃起大火。
另一段视频显示，一艘靠近港口的船只被击中后，引发巨大火球直冲云霄。
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在周三清晨行动期间于Truth Social发帖称："我很高兴地宣布，过去几小时内，我们已击中并彻底摧毁了10艘闲置的布雷艇和/或船只，后续还将有更多战果！"
美国中央司令部（CENTCOM）后续声明称，已有16艘布雷舰艇被摧毁。
特朗普此前曾要求伊朗"立即"清除水域中的所有水雷，并威胁称将让伊朗面临"前所未见"的严重后果。他补充道："反之，若他们移除可能布设的水雷，这将是迈向正确方向的重大一步！"
英国海上贸易行动中心（UKMTO）今晨证实，一枚抛射体击中了霍尔木兹海峡的一艘货轮，导致船只起火。该军方运营的航运监控机构表示，货轮在阿曼以北的海域遭袭，引发大火，船员被迫撤离。
伊朗并未立即宣称对此次袭击负责，但该国一直以封锁中东燃料出口为由，在霍尔木兹海峡及其周边海域袭击船只。全球约五分之一的石油和天然气需经由这条狭窄水道运输。
英国海上贸易行动办公室（UKMTO）还报告了另一起针对阿拉伯联合酋长国哈伊马角附近海域一艘船只的袭击事件。
当局表示，今晨两架伊朗无人机袭击了迪拜国际机场附近区域，造成四人受伤。
迪拜媒体办公室表示，此次袭击导致"两名加纳公民和一名孟加拉国公民受轻伤，一名印度公民受中度伤"。
该办公室表示，机场航班仍在持续运行。
