Iran Attacks Gulf Nations, Closes Hormuz Amid US Strikes

July 12, 2026 | Written by: | Category: Foreign Policy

Iran attacked five Gulf nations and closed the Strait of Hormuz following US airstrikes.

The United States launched airstrikes against Iran, described as the heaviest in a month, after the Pentagon reported Iran attacked a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz. Following these US actions, Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz closed.

Iranian media reported an Iranian soldier was killed in an overnight US strike on a port. In response, Iran reportedly attacked five Gulf nations.

The US strikes came after Iran's declaration to close the critical shipping lane. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
