U.S. Military Renews Strikes on Iran Amid Strait of Hormuz Tensions; President Trump Notifies Congress of Resumed Hostilities

The U.S. military carried out a third consecutive night of strikes against Iran, as President Donald Trump reinstated a blockade of Iranian shipping and proposed charging a fee to guard the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump formally notified Congress that hostilities against Iran resumed on July 7, opening a new 60-day window for military action without further congressional approval.
