  • The War in Iran, also known as the Conflict of Hormuz, was a large military conflict that began on February 3rd, 2012 after Iranian Navy forces assaulted several United States ships in the Persian Gulf before blocking the Strait of Hormuz. The preludes to the war were the various sanctions that were put on Iran by the United States and Iran's nuclear program. The sanctions led to growing tensions between Iran and the United States, and as a result, Iran brandished their nuclear arms against the world. As the sanctions continued, Iran threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz, which would deal damage to the world's crude oil supply. This led to an intense stand-off between American Navy ships and Iran forces in the Persian Gulf. Iranian officials previously warned that if the United States sent their ships into the Persian Gulf, there would be consequences-- and they were right. On February 2, 2012, the USS Quentin was struck by a missile fired from one of Iran's ships. Before the ships' commanders could react, multiple missiles were fired at the American ships, which ultimately paved the way for war between the two nations.
