CENTCOM confirms strikes on southern Iran after ceasefire breach near Strait of Hormuz
CENTCOM confirmed strikes on southern Iran after what it described as a ceasefire breach near the Strait of Hormuz, but the public record rests on four Telegram channels, and the M/T Kiku tanker incident that allegedly triggered the response has not been independently confirmed.

Desk note: Monexus has framed this exchange from a four-channel Telegram base rather than from wire confirmation, and has flagged the absence of independent confirmation of the M/T Kiku incident as the central unresolved question. Where Iranian state outlets are cited, they are cited as Iranian state framing; where US-aligned OSINT is cited, it is cited as US-aligned OSINT. The market-data language in the third section comes from QuantumDaily's own framing and is attributed accordingly.
