The US launches more strikes on Iran as the standoff over the Strait of Hormuz escalates

The United States launched strikes on Iran in response to an Iranian attack on a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz, which left a crew member missing. Iran retaliated by targeting multiple Middle Eastern countries, escalating tensions over control of the strategic waterway. The U.S. and Iran remain at odds amid a 60-day interim deal that has instead led to reciprocal attacks, with the UN warning of catastrophic consequences if hostilities resume.
