Iran-US Clash Escalates in Strait of Hormuz

Iran claims it foiled a U.S. attack near the Strait of Hormuz just days after Washington struck Iranian drone and missile sites — escalating tensions in one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes. The spat began when Iran allegedly used a drone to strike a cargo ship, which the U.S. says broke a fragile ceasefire, leaving over 11,000 sailors stranded. Centcom confirmed strikes targeting Iran’s drone storage, missile sites, and radar systems, calling it a “powerful response” to “unwarranted aggression.” President Trump had earlier hinted at retaliation. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard retaliates with threats of “swift and decisive” strikes, claiming they intercepted an American assault on Sirik Island and launched counterattacks — though details remain vague. Both sides accuse each other of false pretenses and violations, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining a flashpoint as the U.S. vows to protect commercial traffic and Iran warns of escalating consequences.
