US-Iran Escalation at Strait of Hormuz | Global News

Tensions between the US and Iran are escalating as Iran strikes US bases across the Gulf, while the US responds with seven-hour bombing campaigns targeting Iran’s military infrastructure — all amid stalled diplomatic talks. President Trump warns of further action if Iran doesn’t return to negotiations, but Iran’s top negotiator insists any deal must benefit them, stressing national security through control of the Strait of Hormuz.

Compounding the crisis, the US also destroyed an oil tanker en route to an Iranian port — a volatile standoff with no clear path to de-escalation.
