U.S. Fires Missiles in Strait of Hormuz | US News

Tensions flare in the Strait of Hormuz as U.S. forces intercept Iranian boats attempting to seize a Navy drone vessel, resulting in a deadly missile strike that destroyed the Iranian craft and killed most aboard. Amid ongoing efforts to restore commercial shipping through this vital chokepoint — still operating below pre-conflict levels — the U.S. Central Command confirms the incident and maintains control of the unmanned vessel. Iran blames Washington, citing missing fishermen near Kargan and Larak Island. In response, U.S. and Gulf allies are ramping up security: daytime tanker crossings are now permitted, Saudi Arabia is increasing oil shipments, and shipping lanes are being cleared to ensure safer passage — all part of a high-stakes mission to keep the world’s lifeline open.
