US-Iran war news LIVE: US military targets another vessel trying to breach its blockade of Iranian ports
The US and UK plan a high-level summit in London next week to form a maritime coalition aimed at protecting commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. This initiative follows recent US missile strikes on Iranian targets and escalating tensions after a ceasefire collapsed, with Iran retaliating against US bases. The US aims to involve allies in safeguarding the waterway, while Saudi Arabia has also targeted Houthi sites in Yemen amid rising conflict.
