U.S. Launches Military Strikes Against Iran After Alleged Attacks on Shipping in Strait of Hormuz

The U.S. military launched strikes against Iran in response to reports of 'attempted attacks on shipping' in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil trade. The strikes were confirmed by The Hindu, which noted the U.S. and Iran have been engaged in an intermittent war for more than six months. The Independent reported the strikes but did not provide specific details about the operation or the reason for the military action, though it cited the involvement of Trump in the decision.
