The US launched new airstrikes on Iranian targets following a drone attack on a Panama-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. The strikes, which hit military equipment and air defenses, were a response to what the US called continued aggression against commercial shipping, violating a June 17 ceasefire agreement. That deal had called for Iran to ensure toll-free passage for vessels. Days earlier, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Iran had informed the US it would impose no tolls, insurance costs, or other charges on ships using the strait, warning that negotiations would end if that claim were false. Iran has not yet commented on the latest US strikes. The waterway is vital for global oil shipments, and its disruption had previously spiked prices.
