UAE Says Iran Resumes Attacks as US Pushes to Reopen Strait of Hormuz
The U.S. Central Command announced its successful assistance to two U.S.-flagged ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, an action that followed Iran’s warnings against American military presence in the waterway. Simultaneously, the United Arab Emirates reported being targeted by Iranian attacks, including missile and drone strikes, which appeared to be a response to U.S. efforts to reopen the strait, a critical route for global energy. In retaliation, the U.S. military stated it sank six small Iranian boats as part of its operation to restore traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
