The United States says it conducted self‑defense strikes on Iranian missile and drone launch sites, command and control locations, and ISR nodes after US Navy destroyers came under unprovoked attack by missiles, drones and small boats while transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran says the US started the incident and vows retaliation, while Washington says the action is limited and not an escalation; CENTCOM reports no US losses. The flare‑up also features reactions from Trump and ongoing reports of explosions and tensions around Iran and the Strait amid a broader Gulf blockade and fragile ceasefire.
