IRAN SHUTS HORMUZ: U.S. Launches Fresh Strikes as CENTCOM Reveals Damage After Cargo Ship Attack

The United States launched a fresh round of strikes against Iran after Tehran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and struck a commercial vessel in the strategic waterway. U.S. Central Command said the Cyprus-flagged container ship M/V GFS Galaxy suffered significant engine-room damage and a crew member remains missing. Iran warned that the strait would remain closed until the end of what it called U.S. interference in the region and threatened a severe response to retaliation. The latest escalation has intensified fears of a wider regional conflict and renewed concerns over global energy supplies, as nearly one-fifth of the world's oil and LNG shipments normally pass through the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump and Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei also exchanged sharp warnings, underscoring the growing tensions.
