US attacks Iran over ship being hit in Strait of Hormuz; Tehran lashes out again at Gulf Arab states

The United States attacked Iran following an Iranian strike on a Cyprus-flagged container ship in the Strait of Hormuz, which led to the vessel catching fire and the crew abandoning it. Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks targeting Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, escalating tensions in the region. The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical point of contention in U.S.-Iran negotiations, with Iran vowing to keep it closed and threatening further strikes.
