The US and Iran have engaged in military exchanges for the first time in a month, with the US targeting Iranian rocket launchers in the Strait of Hormuz. In retaliation, Iran launched missiles at US military bases in Jordan and the UAE. President Trump has threatened further action, emphasizing the US's aim to disrupt Iranian control over shipping in this crucial waterway.
Recent developments include claims of Iranian mines affecting tanker navigation, while the US asserts it has weakened Iran's military capabilities in the region. The situation remains tense as both nations navigate their military and economic strategies.
