The U.S. Central Command reported that U.S. Navy destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz were attacked by Iran using missiles, drones, and fast boats, though no U.S. ships were hit. In response, U.S. forces neutralized the threats and targeted Iranian military facilities. Iran accused the U.S. of violating a ceasefire by striking an oil tanker and conducting airstrikes on civilian areas, claiming significant losses inflicted on U.S. vessels.
President Trump described U.S. retaliatory strikes on Iranian ports as a "minor punishment," emphasizing that the ceasefire remains in effect. The U.S. seeks to end the conflict, now in its third month, but awaits Iran's response to proposals to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and address nuclear issues. The situation remains tense as both nations navigate the fragile ceasefire.
