U.S. and Iran trade fire in Strait of Hormuz; each claims other shot first

U.S. Central Command in a statement said its forces “intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes” as three U.S. Navy destroyers transited the strait late Thursday.

Earlier, Iran accused the U.S. of violating the two countries’ fragile ceasefire by striking multiple targets in and around the strait, a central chokepoint in the ongoing war.

President Donald Trump reportedly said that the ceasefire remains in effect, calling the strikes “just a love tap.”
