US strikes Iran after shipping attacks in Strait of Hormuz

The US military conducted strikes on Iran following attempted attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, ending a month-long lull in an intermittent conflict that has persisted for over six months. The strikes mark a resumption of direct US-Iran hostilities in a critical maritime chokepoint, raising risks of supply disruptions and regional escalation. The extent of damage and Iran's response remain uncertain.
