The US military intercepted Iranian attacks on three Navy ships in the Strait of Hormuz and launched retaliatory strikes, with explosions reported near Iran's key port city Bandar Abbas.

President Trump announced the US Navy will escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for roughly 20% of global oil supply. Iran warned it will attack any foreign armed force that enters the passage, sharpening a standoff with direct implications for oil prices and shipping costs.
President Trump described the US Navy's enforcement of a blockade at the Strait of Hormuz as acting "like pirates" and called it "a very profitable business." The strait carries roughly 20% of global oil trade, making any sustained disruption a direct risk to crude prices and Iranian export revenue.
US stock futures dropped 0.4% to 0.5% after the US Navy seized an Iranian vessel, escalating Middle East tensions ahead of a ceasefire deadline. Brent crude jumped 8% as traders priced in renewed risk to Gulf oil shipping routes.
Iran attacked US naval ships and drones in retaliation for the American seizure of a cargo vessel near the Strait of Hormuz, ending a temporary US-Iran ceasefire on Tuesday. The exchange raises acute escalation risk along a chokepoint handling roughly one-fifth of global oil supply. Energy markets and tanker operators
US Central Command confirmed ten merchant vessels were turned back by April 15 under an ongoing Iran blockade, with no ships breaching the cordon. The enforcement action directly disrupts commercial maritime traffic in the affected corridor, raising freight and rerouting risk for operators in the region.
President Trump announced the US Navy will immediately blockade the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20 percent of global oil supply transits daily. The move represents a sharp escalation in US posture and poses an immediate shock risk to energy prices and Gulf shipping. No details on legal authority, allied coo
