US Strikes Iran as Strait Tensions Rise | Global News

US launches third straight night of strikes on Iran after Tehran’s missile attack kills one and injures eight on tankers in Strait of Hormuz — a flashpoint in escalating regional power struggle. Iran also hit a US base in Bahrain and fired toward Jordan, prompting Trump to vow more strikes and reinstate a naval blockade, demanding tolls on ships passing through. Tanker operator confirms major damage, while Strait traffic collapsed from 50 to just 10 ships in a day. Iran insists oil exports remain unaffected and vows to keep control of the strait, despite UN rejecting US toll as illegal — as global energy routes remain dangerously volatile.
