US and Iranian forces clashed at the Strait of Hormuz late Thursday, trading strikes on ships and, according to Iran, civilian areas — the sharpest escalation since the two countries entered a ceasefire roughly a month ago. Trump insists the ceasefire remains intact, while Iranian state media says the situation has returned to normal, though both sides blame the other for firing first.
