Iran war: U.S. launches strikes after commercial ship attacks in Strait of Hormuz | FOX 10 Phoenix

The United States has executed an additional round of military strikes against Iran, occurring just hours after President Trump declared that the ceasefire is officially over. The decision to strike follows a recent incident where Iran attacked commercial ships navigating the critical Strait of Hormuz waterway. President Trump addressed these escalating tensions while closing out the NATO summit held in Turkey, clarifying the current parameters of the administration's military approach. During his closing remarks, President Trump emphasized that the primary goal of Operation Epic Fury remains entirely unchanged, asserting that the administration will never allow Iran to possess a nuclear weapon. While he noted a significantly diminished interest in pursuing diplomatic channels and expressed readiness to launch further military actions, he specified that these measures would not mark a return to an all-out war. He stated that any prospective action would be over very quickly and that the United States is not looking for a long-term engagement. The escalating situation with Iran quickly dominated the narrative at the NATO summit, overshadowing multiple other agenda items scheduled with European allies. Although President Trump initially arrived at the summit frustrated by a lack of early support from European leaders, he later noted a strong sense of unification among the members. Meanwhile, Iran has issued retaliatory threats, vowing to completely close the Strait of Hormuz and target oil facilities situated in various Gulf nations if the United States proceeds with further military strikes.
