US and Iran each assert they control the Strait of Hormuz after another heavy exchange of fire

The United States and Iran each claim control of the Strait of Hormuz following a weekend of attacks, with Iran asserting its right to manage the waterway under an interim peace deal and the U.S. disputing this under international law. U.S. military strikes targeted Iranian sites, including air defense systems and missile equipment, while Iran's Revolutionary Guard rejected U.S. interference, and regional allies reported further attacks.
