US-Iran Escalation in Hormuz Strait | Global News

Tensions explode as the U.S. launches a third night of strikes against Iran after Tehran’s missile attack on two tankers in the Strait of Hormuz—killing one crew member and injuring eight. Iran retaliates by firing at U.S. bases in Bahrain and Jordan, while President Trump vows more strikes and reinstates a naval blockade, even threatening a 20% tax on ships passing through the chokepoint. Global shipping grinds to a halt, with traffic plummeting from 50 to just 10 vessels, as India and the UAE escalate diplomatic pressure. With the Strait’s control fiercely contested and the UN rejecting the U.S. blockade as illegal, the world watches as a flashpoint for energy security threatens to spiral into full-scale conflict.
