> U.S. forces hit Iranian rocket launchers near the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, their first military action in a month, ending a lull in an intermittent war that has lasted more than six months. Iran vowed retaliation for what it called a deadly attack and later said it fired missiles at U.S. sites in Jordan.
