Iran warns US strikes will 'tighten the lock' on Strait of Hormuz

The US has verified its attacks on IRGC targets in Iran after a string of Iranian assaults on vessels and troops. In retaliation, Iran has initiated a military response employing missiles and drones against US interests, leading to an alarming rise in hostilities around this critical maritime route.
