AP reports two U.S. Navy destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz — the first passage since the U.S.-Iran war began in late February. Multiple independent sources (NYT, Al Jazeera, Fortune) confirm the transit. The move is significant because the strait is a critical global shipping chokepoint that Iran has effectively blockaded during the conflict, and the transit signals U.S. intent to reopen it. This comes as high-level ceasefire negotiations between U.S. and Iranian delegations are underway in Pakistan — control of the strait is a central sticking point in those talks.
