US and Iran Exchange Strikes Near Strait of Hormuz Amid Ceasefire Talks
The US and Iran resumed military hostilities after a month-long lull, with the US striking Iranian Revolutionary Guard targets on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz, citing attempts by Iran to deploy sea mines and threaten shipping. Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks on US bases in Jordan and the UAE. President Trump warned of stronger US responses if Iran retaliates, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed willingness to return to a ceasefire if the US honors prior commitments. The conflict continues to impact global energy markets and regional stability.
