Iran has accused the United States of attacking two passenger boats in the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in the deaths of five civilians, rather than targeting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) vessels as claimed by US Central Command.

Tensions are escalating, with Iran warning commercial vessels of potential attacks and President Trump threatening severe retaliation if US forces are attacked.
