Fighting continues in 'Hormuz'... Trump downplays chance of war

Qeshm Island, Iran ·

Iran's Revolutionary Guard said on Wednesday that it shot down a US drone over Qeshm Island, one day after a US strike on the island. The claim comes amid renewed tension in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran lies along the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway linking the Gulf with the Gulf of Oman, through which a large share of the world's seaborne oil passes. Tensions between Tehran and Washington have played out around the strait for some time.
