The United States conducted heavy airstrikes against Iran for the fourth consecutive night, targeting efforts to prevent the regime's attacks on oil and cargo ships. Earlier on Monday, President Trump had suggested that the U.S. might take on the role of "guardian of the Hormuz Strait," a critical maritime chokepoint. However, he subsequently reversed this decision.

Ed O'Keefe of CBS Politics reported on the developments, highlighting the shift in U.S. policy amid ongoing tensions with Iran.
