Iran attacks ships in Strait of Hormuz as US military tries to open the waterway

Iran attacked ships in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting a response from U.S. forces and marking a significant test of President Trump's 'Project Freedom' plan. This escalation has caused oil and gas prices to surge, increasing the risk of prolonged conflict. Experts caution that the successful passage of two ships does not guarantee the waterway's full operational status.
