Hormuz fighting intensifies as U.S. attacks Iran and Iran strikes tankers

Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have escalated dramatically as the U.S. launched a third consecutive night of attacks on Iranian targets. President Trump is set to address the nation Thursday amid this surge in hostilities. The strikes come after Iran retaliated for previous U.S. actions by targeting oil tankers, highlighting the severe risks of conflict spilling over into one of the world's most critical shipping lanes. This escalation has global implications, potentially disrupting oil supplies and exacerbating geopolitical tensions.
