There is new trouble in the Strait of Hormuz. The USA and Iran attack each other. A stop of fights existed since last week. Both countries say: You broke the rules.
Everything started with an attack on a ship. A drone hit a big ship from Singapore. The USA says: Iran did it. Iran wants money for ships. Iran calls this money insurance. Experts call this money protection money.
The USA reacts fast. 6 planes attacked storage for rockets in Iran. They destroyed stations to track ships. Soon after Iran hit back. The Revolutionary Guards say: We attacked targets of the USA.
JD Vance is the leader of the USA. He warns Iran. He says: Violence brings more violence. The USA wants free travel for ships. Iran wants to control the sea area. Iran wants all ships to register first.
The situation is dangerous for trade. Many ships carry oil for the world. The world organization for ships stops its work there. It is not clear if the peace stays.
