U.S. and Iran exchange fire despite ceasefire. And, Trump nominates a new head of ICE

The United States and Iran have engaged in a series of reciprocal military strikes. According to reports, U.S. forces targeted multiple locations within Iran, while Iranian drones conducted attacks on Bahrain. Additionally, a vessel was struck within the Strait of Hormuz.

Coverage from CNN, The Washington Post, Bloomberg, Politico, and PBS emphasizes the resulting strain on the ceasefire agreement. Outlets note a decline in maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz as concerns over vessel safety intensify.

The current situation remains fluid as military actions continue to challenge the standing ceasefire. It is not yet specified whether diplomatic channels remain open or how the involved parties will respond to the ongoing disruption of maritime trade.
