U.S., Iran trade wave of strikes while disputing status of Hormuz 
Civilians and military walk past a poster of Iran's late leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on July 3 in Tehran. 
The U.S. struck Iran for a third time in a week, prompting retaliatory attacks on at least five Arab nations as Washington and Tehran issued conflicting declarations over whether the Strait of Hormuz remains open to shipping. 
The Islamic Republic responded early Sunday with drone and missile assaults on American allies across the Middle East, including Kuwait, Jordan and Qatar.

U.S. 
Central Command denied that, saying that waterway was still open to all vessels and the U.S. military is prepared to ensure freedom of navigation. 
The Joint Maritime Information Center, a global monitoring body, reported Sunday it was still possible to transit the strait’s southern route.
