US strikes Iranian military targets near vital waterway after tanker hit

The US struck Iranian military targets near a vital waterway on June 28 after Tehran attacked a tanker following an earlier strike on a container ship, with both sides blaming the other for breaching the ceasefire.

Oil prices jumped in response to the renewed tit-for-tat assaults that started on June 26, raising concerns about the interim peace deal. This escalation matters as it threatens regional stability and global energy supplies.

US-Iran-Israel War

A tentative peace deal between the United States and Iran collapsed on June 28, 2026, after Iran accused the US of violating the agreement, triggering renewed missile exchanges and strikes on Kuwait and Bahrain. Despite this escalation, both nations agreed to halt attacks and renew talks later that same day to address the dispute over the Strait of Hormuz, yet renewed hostilities erupted just hours later on June 29. The US retaliated against Iranian sites following an oil tanker attack attributed to Iran, while Iranian missiles struck US targets in response to reported strikes near the vital waterway.
