Iran strikes tankers under US escort in Strait of Hormuz as Trump gathers cabinet to discuss war

Iran said it struck two oil tankers trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz under an “air escort” by the US as President Donald Trump gathered his cabinet to discuss the ongoing war and its rising costs. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards said the targeted tankers were brought to a halt, while others changed course and returned. The incident follows continued disputes over competing transit routes between Washington and Tehran, with both sides blaming the other for violations and escalating strikes in the waterway.
