: US Navy warships have entered the Strait of Hormuz for the first time since the war began.
Two guided - missile destroyers successfully transited the waterway, marking the first US naval passage in 42 days since February 28.
The move was reportedly not coordinated with Iran, with a US official calling it an operation to assert freedom of navigation in international waters.
This happens while active peace talks are ongoing in Islamabad, making the timing highly sensitive.
A clear signal:
The US is enforcing presence on the ground, even as diplomacy continues.
Tensions remain high, and this move could either stabilize the situation or trigger further escalation.
