INFERY
US and Iranian forces clashed near the Strait of Hormuz after US warships were targeted. US Central Command stated that US forces struck missile and drone launch sites in Iran responsible for the attacks, though no vessels were hit. This escalation risks undermining ongoing talks for a permanent end to the war, with Iran expected to respond to a US-proposed deal soon. President Trump threatened more intense strikes if Iran refuses the terms.
