The US Central Command confirmed the uninterrupted transit of commercial vessels through the strategic Strait of Hormuz, reporting the safe passage of over 800 ships carrying millions of barrels of oil. The command announced that US forces conducted a third round of airstrikes, targeting dozens of Iranian military sites, including missile launch pads, drone facilities, ammunition depots, communication networks, and naval outposts. These strikes were in retaliation for an attack on a Cyprus-flagged commercial cargo ship in the strait, which caused significant damage and resulted in a missing crew member. These developments coincided with Tehran's announcement of the strait's closure following warning shots fired at a vessel navigating an unauthorized route, warning against any retaliatory actions. Amid this exchange of attacks, the US administration announced the termination of the previous ceasefire agreement aimed at halting hostilities, while keeping the door open for negotiations. Meanwhile, Washington continues to exert pressure, demanding that Iran halt attacks on ships and ensure that waterways remain open without the imposition of transit fees.
