The U.S. and Iran exchanged fire in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, a U.S. official confirmed to Axios.

Iranian state media reported that three U.S. destroyers were targeted by the Iranian navy, while the U.S. official said the U.S. conducted strikes on targets in the strait.

The big picture: The U.S. official said the exchange did not constitute a resumption of the war, but the Iranian military described the U.S. strikes as a ceasefire violation and threatened retaliation. The extent of the strikes and resulting damage are unclear at this time. Iran's military said the U.S. had targeted an oil tanker and another ship entering the strait.

President Trump pulled back on his operation for the Navy to facilitate shipping through the strait on Tuesday but left the U.S. blockade in place.

The confrontation appears to have come as the U.S. attempted to enforce the blockade.

Catch up quick: Iran responded to the since-abandoned U.S. operation on Monday by firing on U.S. naval vessels, commercial ships, and the United Arab Emirates.

Trump's pullback came as the U.S. and Iran negotiate on a one-page memo to end hostilities and lay the groundwork for more detailed negotiations.

What do you mean TACO aren't they striking Ukraine daily? TACO are you announcing that Russia and Ukraine are at war?

Art of the deal: make concessions before negotiations.

While the article stated that the statement was FALSE, It's actually NOT FALSE.

There was no housing minister in Harper’s cabinet at the time. Many housing issues got rolled into Poilievre’s domain under the title of social development. The six houses number stems from non-profit housing built by the government in the 2015-16 fiscal year, when Poiliever had the file. Under Harper, Canada had less social housing per capita than many other countries.

Housing was under PP's portfolio, and PP made it very small.

China and Vietnam are producing a lot of the low cost every day items people use. It's going to hit the lower income people the hardest. Thank goodness I'm in Canada.

They need to fire the leaders of Democratic party. Find new blood and new direction. Swing to the right didn't help them.

What kind of exploitative capitalism do we have in Canada? And how is this allowed? This is utterly ridiculous!

Funny thing is this kind of behaviour isn't unique to Musk. A lot of entrepreneurs and CEOs seem to have similar kind of attitude. They want everything done cheaper faster and there's no 2 ways about it. It's their way or highway. If shit goes to hell it's other people's heads that roll.
