Update: The US launched strikes in Iran after their strikes on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. strikes are intended to impose heavy costs on Iran for attacks on commercial shipping and innocent individuals. CENTCom said Iran’s actions were “unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire.”

Original Story
The IRGC has hit three tankers in the Strait for not complying with Iran’s rules, which the US says do not apply.
British military officials say a third commercial vessel was hit by a drone after two other tankers were attacked earlier in the critical oil-shipping corridor.
The latest ship suffered minor damage; no injuries were reported, and it continued its voyage.
The attacks raise fresh concerns about security in one of the world’s most important energy chokepoints.
