Iran has targeted a US aircraft carrier with ballistic missiles near the Strait of Hormuz, according to reports. The US military has denied Iran's claim that it hit a US unmanned vessel in the strait, calling it "a total lie" as per Fortune.

Traffic through the Hormuz Strait has decreased by one-third over the weekend, as reported by Kpler. The Strait of Hormuz has seen increased attacks at sea between the US and Iran, with both sides targeting vessels linked to each other.

Iran's parliament speaker has announced plans for an "exclusion zone" outside the Strait of Hormuz for vessels it believes are attempting to transit the waterway. According to Hindustan Times, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that US warships successfully avoided Iranian missiles and then struck three Iranian oil vessels in retaliation.
