26.06.2026 ⇢ The Day the US Struck Iran Over the Strait of Hormuz
⌨
The day began with the Venezuela earthquake death toll climbing past 900, but editors quickly shifted focus to Iran. By afternoon, Trump accused Tehran of a 'foolish violation' of the ceasefire after a drone struck a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz. Within hours, the US launched retaliatory strikes on Iranian missile and drone sites, dominating headlines across outlets. The Venezuela disaster and Supreme Court immigration rulings receded as the Iran story escalated from diplomatic breach to military action, marking the day's defining arc.
