President Donald Trump declared the U.S.-Iran ceasefire over following Iranian attacks on commercial shipping. He stated the U.S. was preparing for further strikes in response to the recent violence in the region.
The U.S. military confirmed strikes on Iranian air defenses, radars, and over 60 small boats used by the Revolutionary Guard. These vessels have been instrumental in threatening maritime traffic through the strategic strait.
Iranian forces retaliated by attacking sites in the Gulf after U.S. strikes on three tankers. The renewed exchange of fire has increased fears of a broader regional conflict.
