US military naval units operating near the Strait of Hormuz came under Iranian missile fire after the US military allegedly attacked an Iranian oil tanker, Iranian state media reported Thursday, citing an unnamed military official.

As President Trump again voices optimism that Iran will "make a deal" to end the war, Tehran declares itself the regulator of Strait of Hormuz shipping.

The deal includes Iran easing some control over the strait and the U.S. ending its blockade.
