US and Iran Trade Strikes Amid Tensions over the Strait of Hormuz
Iran and the United States each claimed the waterway as attacks on commercial shipping and regional targets disrupted global oil flows, officials said.
- On Monday, the United States and Iran both asserted control over the Strait of Hormuz following a weekend of escalating military strikes across the Middle East, further threatening diplomacy to end the war.
- United States Central Command forces struck 140 Iranian military targets early Sunday, including radar and missile sites, in retaliation for attacks on two commercial vessels in the strait that left one crew member missing.
- Retaliatory strikes from Iran hit Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and Jordan, while global oil markets reacted to the heightened danger as Brent crude traded above $78 a barrel, a rise of more than 3%.
- Declaring the interim war deal effectively "over," President Donald Trump acknowledged that negotiations continue, while mediators from Pakistan, Qatar, and Egypt attempt to shore up the ceasefire after Iran condemned recent attacks.
- The International Energy Agency warned that a prolonged confrontation could delay the rebuilding of global oil inventories expected later this year, as shipping transits remain significantly below usual levels through the vital waterway.
