U.S. Military Conducts 'Limited Defensive' Strikes Against Iranian Targets in Strait of Hormuz

The United States military has carried out "limited defensive" strikes against Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz. The action follows surface-to-air missile threats against U.S. assets, according to reports. Vice President J.D. Vance stated that Washington has made "progress" in indirect peace talks with Iran, while White House aides are reportedly seeking to keep the conflict contained until after the midterm elections.
