U.S. Contradicts Iran, Says Strait of Hormuz is Open Amid Intensified Attacks
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The U.S. launched airstrikes against Iran early Sunday following an Iranian attack on a Cypriot-flagged container ship in the Strait of Hormuz, which forced the crew to abandon the vessel. Iran retaliated by targeting several Gulf nations, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman. U.S. Central Command stated that the Strait of Hormuz remains open for lawful transit, despite Iranian claims of closure. The recent violence has jeopardized ongoing negotiations aimed at a permanent ceasefire, which had been agreed upon in June. Meanwhile, India condemned the attack on its crew member and is coordinating a rescue operation with Oman.
