In response, the U.S. military launched strikes against Iranian targets near the strait, marking the first such action since a peace agreement was established. Coverage from the BBC, CNBC, and The New York Times emphasizes that the attack caused the UN to pause its evacuation plan for ships in the strait.

Al Jazeera reports that oil prices have climbed following the incident. Outlets including AP News and The Guardian report that Donald Trump accused Iran of a 'foolish violation' of the ceasefire.
