Forget the ceasefire — The U.S. and Iran are still exchanging attacks over the Strait of Hormuz as Tehran tries to shut down a competing route

The U.S. and Iran are exchanging attacks over the Strait of Hormuz despite a ceasefire agreement, with Iran targeting a U.S. Navy base in Bahrain and a commercial ship. The U.S. has expanded an alternate shipping route along Oman’s coast to counter Iran’s attempts to control the strait, while diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict remain stalled.
