Summary
The Strait of Hormuz has erupted into a new flashpoint as Iran and the U.S. clash over control, with Iran attacking a container ship and the U.S. declaring it now under American authority — a claim Iran fiercely rejects.

The U.S. retaliates with strikes on Iranian military sites, while global powers urge restraint and freedom of navigation — but de-escalation now feels more like a distant dream.
