Iran reported fresh U.S. strikes on July 15 on a port city that hosts the country’s only civilian nuclear plant, as Washington reimposed a naval blockade and the two foes returned to open hostilities.

Nearly a month after the United States and Iran signed an interim memorandum aimed at ending the conflict, the sides resumed strikes on targets across the region.

At the center of the renewed fighting is the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil and gas shipments.
