Deadliest Lebanon day since truce as Hormuz tensions flare in US-Iran conflict
Lebanon saw the deadliest Israeli strikes since June’s ceasefire, with at least nine killed as cross-border hostilities flare; in the Strait of Hormuz, ADNOC vessels were attacked and a bulk carrier was hit by an unknown projectile amid UKMTO warnings, while Iran says it has not decided whether to resume talks with the US; Yemen’s Houthis fired missiles at Mocha, intensifying the broader regional crisis and shipping pressures. President Trump defends the war and hints at Hormuz control, but shipping through the strait remains far below pre-war levels as tensions persist.
