U.S. Strikes on Iranian Port Cities During Active Ceasefire (May 2026)

U.S. strikes on civilian port cities (Qeshm, Bandar Abbas, Bandar Kargan) during an active ceasefire killed at least one sailor, injured ten, and Iran says hit civilian residential zones. A massive oil spill (71 sq km, ~80,000 barrels) from Kharg Island was confirmed by Copernicus satellite imagery. Iran declared the ceasefire violated and said the U.S. had 'crossed the point of no return.'

Operation Project Freedom: Unilateral Hormuz Convoy Forced Standdown After Saudi Airspace Denial (May 2026)

Trump launched a Navy operation to force ships through the Strait of Hormuz during an active ceasefire without notifying Congress. Iran attacked three US destroyers. Saudi Arabia then denied US airspace access, collapsing the operation. The 'pause for negotiations' cover story was contradicted by reporting that Saudi Arabia's airspace denial made the mission militarily impossible.
