CENTCOM reports:
U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway. The U.S. strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s demonstrated aggression was unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire.
It's unclear so far just what targets in Iran were hit, although President Trump has threatened to hit Iran's electrical generation capacity and their petroleum facilities before now.
RedState's own Bob Hoge reported earlier on Iran's attack on at least two ships:

Bob reports:
On Monday and Tuesday, they were at it again, and reportedly fired at least two missiles at commercial vessels in the Strait — and President Donald Trump is not pleased. Some reports say that two tankers were hit, but another says there were three in total.
The Trump administration quickly reacted with consequences:

Iran would seem to be finding out now what the "or else" is. It seems that the final planting of their disassembled Supreme Leader may have the Islamic Republic fired up, for all the good that does them.
