# The US and Iranian forces exchanged fire in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday. The US Central Command said its forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defence strikes targeting launch sites in Tehran. Iran’s top military command alleged the US had targeted an Iranian oil tanker and another vessel approaching the Strait. In response, Tehran attacked US military vessels, claiming it inflicted significant damage. Iran has accused America of violating the ceasefire, while the US says it doesn’t seek escalation and the ceasefire remains in place.
