US Strikes Iran After Ship Attack, Tests a Fragile Ceasefire
American airpower hit Iranian territory for the first time since the 20 June ceasefire, triggered by a ship attack in the Strait of Hormuz that the Western wires have not yet independently confirmed. The market is pricing war; the diplomats are still pricing peace.

Desk note: Monexus framed this story on the basis of three source items, the Sprinter Press capture of the CENTCOM confirmation, the Clash Report capture of the Vance remarks, and the Polymarket pricing, and has been explicit throughout about which facts are corroborated and which rest on a single channel. Where mainstream wire confirmation of the underlying ship attack would normally carry this story, that confirmation is not yet in the source thread, and this publication has chosen to flag the gap rather than fill it.
