Iran expands attacks on Gulf states after US strikes, says Strait of Hormuz closed

Iran expanded attacks on Gulf states after U.S. strikes, with the Strait of Hormuz described as closed, according to the article. It says U.S. and Iranian forces exchanged heavy missile and drone assaults, and Tehran targeted U.S. facilities across Gulf states on Sunday, asserting it had again shut the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for global oil and liquefied natural gas. The attacks reportedly broadened to the United Arab Emirates, which had not been targeted since early May, and to Qatar, a mediator in ceasefire talks that had not been attacked since April. The renewals raise uncertainty about an interim U.S.-Iran agreement signed last month aimed at reopening the strait and ending the war after 60 days of negotiations. The report also notes that a U.S. Navy-led center said an expanded southern route near Oman could support two-way traffic despite the threat. Separately, it states Iran said it disabled vessels after warning shots.
