Trump humiliated as Iran attacks ships in Hormuz being escorted by US armed forces

Published on Jul 31, 2026 10:46 pm IST

Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have surged after Iran's IRGC claimed it intercepted two oil tankers allegedly travelling under U.S. air escort and said four more vessels turned back following the incident. Tehran has not identified the ships, while the claims remain independently unverified. The developments come alongside fresh warnings from an Iranian lawmaker over possible retaliation if Iran's power grid is attacked. Meanwhile, Kuwait says it intercepted drones that entered its airspace, adding another layer of uncertainty to an already volatile Gulf security situation.
