Tehran attacked a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz and closed the strategic waterway until further notice. Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps said one of its warning shots had struck a vessel travelling through what it described as an unauthorised route in the strait. The US military identified the vessel as a Cyprus-flagged container ship, saying it suffered "significant engine room damage" and that one civilian crew member remains missing. Iran warned it would consider targeting "additional enemy bases in the region" if further attacks were launched against it. US Central Command said American forces had begun a third round of strikes against Iran.
