US Central Command says it intercepted multiple Iranian ballistic missiles fired at US forces late Tuesday, breaking a multi-day pause in direct strikes. The attack came hours after President Trump claimed progress in peace talks, pushing the six-month conflict back into active escalation.
US forces completed a seventh straight night of strikes on Iranian military and logistics sites while Iran hit US bases in Kuwait and Jordan. Oil prices surged over four percent as both sides actively disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, threatening one-fifth of global oil supply.
US Central Command confirmed shipping is still moving through the Strait of Hormuz despite Iran declaring the waterway closed. Maritime agencies warn of a severe security threat, keeping energy markets on edge and raising insurance and freight costs for vessels transiting the Gulf.
Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz closed, citing Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon as ceasefire violations. U.S. Central Command said 55 merchant ships still transited the strait on Saturday, signaling the closure has not yet been enforced but putting global energy markets on high alert.
Trump says the U.S.-Iran ceasefire still stands after both sides exchanged missile and drone strikes near the Strait of Hormuz. The confrontation directly threatens one of the world's most critical oil shipping routes and raises the risk of further escalation.
U.S. Central Command said American Navy destroyers intercepted Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday and then struck Iranian military facilities in response. The direct exchange in one of the world's busiest oil shipping lanes raises immediate risks for energy markets and regional stability.
A US fighter jet struck an Iranian tanker in the Gulf of Oman after it tried to breach a US military blockade, US Central Command confirmed. The strike comes as Iran says it is reviewing a one-page, 14-point US proposal to end the war.
Oil prices surged to their highest since 2022 after Axios reported US Central Command has prepared strike plans on Iran to brief President Trump. Energy markets reacted sharply because Iran and the Strait of Hormuz are critical to global oil supply. No decision to strike has been made.
US Central Command says a blockade of Iranian ports is completely stopping the country's economic trade, with more than 10,000 personnel, warships, and aircraft committed to the operation. A full halt to maritime trade would sever Iran's primary oil export channel and compress foreign currency inflows. The Strait of Ho
US Central Command has threatened a full blockade of Iranian ports beginning Monday, while explicitly preserving transit rights through the Strait of Hormuz for non-Iranian vessels. The move would sever Iran's seaborne export and import channels, placing direct pressure on its oil revenues. Brent crude prices and tanke
