US attacks Iran over ship being hit in Strait of Hormuz; Tehran lashes out again at Gulf Arab states

The United States attacked Iran over an Iranian strike on a Cyprus-flagged container ship in the Strait of Hormuz, which set the vessel ablaze and forced its crew to abandon it. Iran responded with attacks targeting Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, escalating regional tensions. The U.S. military claimed the strikes degraded Iran's ability to target civilian and commercial vessels in the strait.
