U.S. Navy Disables Two Iranian Tankers in Strait of Hormuz

F/A-18s from USS George H.W. Bush struck the smokestacks of M/T Sea Star III and M/T Sevda with precision munitions to block a blockade breach. The U.S. military simultaneously targeted Bandar Abbas and Khesm port facilities. Iran condemned the 'reckless military adventure.' Trump asserted the ceasefire remains valid, but Lloyd's List classified the strait as effectively closed.
