The US launches more strikes on Iran as the standoff over the Strait of Hormuz escalates

The United States launched strikes on Iran in response to an Iranian attack on a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran claims is closed but the US disputes. Iran retaliated by attacking Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and Oman, escalating tensions as negotiations between the two nations risk collapse. The U.S. military aims to degrade Iran's ability to attack commercial shipping through the strait.
