US and Iran Exchange Strikes
Unbiased summary
The US and Iran have engaged in a series of strikes, with the US targeting Iranian coastal defense systems, missile and drone sites, and maritime capabilities. Iran responded with attacks on regional allies of Washington and tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The exchange of fire has put an interim deal to pause the fighting in jeopardy. The deal, signed last month, aimed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil and gas supplies. The US has threatened to reopen the strait by force, while Iran has vowed to exercise full sovereignty over the waterway.
