Iran attacks 10 ships near Strait of Hormuz after US sinks 5 tankers

Iran has attacked ten ships near the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for the US sinking five Iranian oil tankers, marking the largest wave of tit-for-tat attacks on shipping since the six-month war began. The escalation threatens the vital shipping lane and has driven oil prices sharply higher. The situation is developing, with further attacks likely.
