• US and Iran trade fire: According to President Donald Trump, a ceasefire is still in effect after US forces said they targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking its warships in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran said civilian areas were hit, with its foreign minister calling the strikes a “reckless military adventure.”
• Strikes on Iranian vessels: The US military also said it fired on two Iranian-flagged oil tankers today trying to bypass the ongoing blockade.
• Warning in the strait: CNN obtained an audio recording in which Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy warned vessels to stay away from US warships. “Sometimes we need to teach Yankees (a) lesson” with “missiles and drones,” a voice said.
• In the region: Three people in the United Arab Emirates were injured in fresh attacks from Iran, its Defense Ministry said.
