US and Iran Exchange Fire in Strait of Hormuz After Trump Order

The US and Iran have exchanged fire in the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for global oil shipments. The clashes began after President Trump ordered military action in the area, and US forces sank Iranian small boats and shot down missiles. The strait remains largely deserted as both sides vie for control, with Iran threatening to keep the waterway under its control by force.

The US has warned of a 'devastating' response to any attack on the strait, and fighting has escalated as the UAE also came under attack. Ships are now clustering off Dubai as Iran expands its area of control, raising concerns about oil shipments and regional stability.
