There are reports of heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran threatening retaliation after the US announced plans to guide ships through the strait. The situation on the ground is unclear, with some outlets reporting that the US has sunk Iranian boats and that ships have passed through the strait, while others mention attacks on the UAE and threats from missiles and drones. The US plan to guide ships, possibly called "Project Freedom", is intended to assist vessels navigating the strait.
