War resumes: US launches new attacks on Iran

Tensions have flared in the Strait of Hormuz as the U.S. military reportedly carried out strikes on Iranian ports, including Qeshm and Bandar Abbas. Fox News, citing a senior American official, reported the strikes, while explosions were also heard in Minab. This action follows Iranian state TV's claim that Tehran launched missiles at U.S. forces in retaliation for an alleged attack on an Iranian tanker.

Iranian media, such as Tasnim news agency, further reported that three U.S. destroyers were targeted by missiles and drones near the Strait of Hormuz, with the vessels reportedly heading towards the Sea of Oman. The explosions at Qeshm Island's Bahman pier were described as occurring during an exchange of fire between Iranian armed forces and an unspecified enemy.

Despite these escalations, a U.S. official emphasized to Fox News that the strikes on Qeshm port and Bandar Abbas do not represent a resumption of war or a breach of the current ceasefire. This statement aims to de-escalate the situation and prevent a full-blown conflict, though the exchange of fire indicates a fragile state of affairs in the critical waterway.
