Iran strikes three vessels near Strait of Hormuz as Trump arrives at NATO summit

Iran struck three commercial vessels near the Strait of Hormuz in Oman's territorial waters, according to a US official, violating a memorandum of understanding. The Qatari-flagged LNG tanker al-Rakiyat was among the targeted vessels, with the attack occurring hours before US President Donald Trump's departure for a NATO summit discussing regional security. Iran is observing a funeral for slain supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in an airstrike.
