US vs Iran war: How Strait of Hormuz crisis triggered 8 days of strikes | Full timeline
The US-Iran conflict escalated following the collapse of a ceasefire in early July 2026, with the US accusing Iran of threatening shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. This led to a series of retaliatory strikes over eight consecutive nights, including US airstrikes on Iranian military sites and Iranian attacks on US-linked facilities. The situation has heightened fears of broader military confrontation and potential disruptions in energy markets.
