U.S. Strikes Iran as Gulf Tensions Escalate | Spokane News

U.S. military strikes Iran for a third night as Trump reimposes a Gulf shipping blockade, proposing a 20% fee for vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz — a move condemned by the UN as illegal. Two tankers were hit in the strait, killing one and injuring eight, while another was struck near Oman with no casualties. Iran denies involvement in the tanker attacks and vows to defend the strait, calling U.S. actions unauthorized. U.S. strikes reportedly hit Khuzestan, wounding four, while Iranian media claims U.S. ships and Kuwait facilities were targeted with missiles and drones. The blockade, set to begin Tuesday, will inspect all traffic along Iran’s coast — except neutral and humanitarian shipments.
