US and Iran vie for Strait of Hormuz, waterway key to global energy supplies, in latest attacks

The US and Iran are vying for control of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy supply route, following recent attacks by both sides. The US military struck dozens of targets in Iran, including air defense systems and radar sites, while Iran's Revolutionary Guard rejected US claims of non-control, asserting the strait as its territory. Attacks on commercial vessels and missile alerts in Bahrain and Kuwait further escalate tensions.
