Iranian media reports intermittent clashes between Iranian and US forces in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian state-affiliated media reported intermittent naval clashes between the Iranian Armed Forces and United States vessels in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday. The reports suggest that scattered exchanges of fire have been occurring for several hours.

The semi-official Fars News Agency and Persian News Agency both carried reports of "intermittent conflicts" within the strategic waterway. While the specific scale of the engagement remains unclear, the reports indicate that these flare-ups follow a similar pattern of skirmishes reported late Thursday night.

The Strait of Hormuz remains the world’s most critical oil transit chokepoint and any military friction there significantly impacts global energy markets.
