Breaking: US launches new strikes on Iran as Strait of Hormuz crisis escalates

The United States says it has launched new strikes on southern Iran after an attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the strikes were carried out in response to damage to a Cyprus-flagged container ship, leaving one crew member missing. Iranian state media reported explosions in several coastal locations, including Bushehr and Asaluyeh. The escalation follows Iran's Revolutionary Guards announcing the temporary closure of the Strait of Hormuz, warning that ships would not be allowed to transit until further notice.
