An Iranian missile has struck a commercial cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting Iran’s military to declare the waterway closed and U.S. Central Command to announce new strikes on the country.
The attack, which occurred early Sunday local time, comes after the collapse of a fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran. It also comes less than 48 hours after the Trump administration demanded that Iran guarantee safe passage for ships traveling through the strait.
