US launches strikes on Iran after IRGC hits container in Hormuz

The US launched strikes on Iran after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacked a Cyprus-flagged container ship, M/V GFS Galaxy, in the Strait of Hormuz. The attack caused an onboard fire, engine damage, and left a civilian crew member missing. US Central Command (Centcom) stated the strikes aim to degrade Iran's ability to attack civilian and commercial ships in the strait.
