Story summary

In late June, UK Maritime Trade Operations reported a second vessel hit by debris from an unknown projectile in the Strait of Hormuz, intensifying tensions. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) responded, demanding that the US and Israel accept their withdrawal from the region due to what it terms their "vile and criminal presence." Meanwhile, US envoy Mike Waltz stated that President Trump is committed to preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, while also leaving open negotiations if Iran acts in good faith.
