Tensions rose in the Strait of Hormuz as Iran warned a US warship to turn back. Iranian forces told the USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. to “alter course” and “go back”, adding it would be “targeted” if it did not comply. The US said its ships were on a legal mission to clear mines and ensure safe passage. Iran claimed the vessels retreated after a “last warning”. The incident comes after failed talks between the United States and Iran, increasing fears of further conflict.
