JERUSALEM, Israel – Trouble between the U.S. and Iran is escalating with conflicting reports about the Strait of Hormuz, as Israel mourns the loss of Senator Lindsey Graham, one of its closest American friends and allies. Both Washington and Tehran claim that they control the Strait of Hormuz following strikes on Monday against Iranian targets in retaliation for Iran's drone and missile attacks against Jordan, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar. So far, Iran has not targeted Israel. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released a statement blaming their most recent strike on a ship in the Strait, alleging that the vessel traveled "along an unauthorized route." Earlier, U.S. CENTCOM announced it had struck 140 military targets after Iran "blatantly" attacked a Cyprus-flagged container ship.
