US and Iran exchange fire in the Strait of Hormuz amid active ceasefire
US Navy destroyers USS Truxtun, USS Rafael Peralta, and USS Mason transited the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday and came under attack from Iranian missiles, drones, and small boats. US Central Command reported destroying six Iranian small boats and intercepting Iranian cruise missiles and drones, while striking Iranian military facilities in self-defense; no US assets were hit. Iran accused the US of violating the ceasefire by targeting Iranian oil tankers and civilian areas, while Trump called the US strikes a 'love tap' and insisted the ceasefire remains in effect.
