The Strait of Hormuz is witnessing a major military escalation. As the conflict enters its fourth week, the United States has intensified operations to neutralize Iranian maritime threats following strikes on energy infrastructure in Kuwait and Qatar.According to General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, US forces have already destroyed over 120 Iranian assets, including 44 mine-laying ships. Taking center stage is the legendary A-10 Warthog. Originally a Cold War tank-buster, the A-10 Thunderbolt II is now hunting fast-attack boats using its devastating 30mm GAU-8 Avenger cannon.
