WorldIran attacks five Gulf nations and shuts Hormuz after US bombing

Iran attacked several countries belonging to the Gulf Cooperation Council and closed the Strait of Hormuz. The move extends the confrontation into the Gulf and directly disrupts passage through the strategic waterway. The developments follow the latest US military action against Iran.
