WorldUS and Iran exchange strikes as Tehran again declares Strait of Hormuz closed
Iran says a vessel was hit and stopped after taking an unapproved route and switching off its systems, which Tehran described as a threat to maritime security. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz had been closed and warned that retaliation over the incident would bring a “severe response”. US forces then carried out strikes, saying they were intended to “degrade Iran’s ability to attack civilian mariners”.
