'This is the last warning.' Iran threatens U.S. warships after they throw down the gauntlet for winner-take-all Strait of Hormuz - Fortune
Overview
U.S. Navy guided‑missile destroyers deliberately transited the Strait of Hormuz in a high‑visibility freedom‑of‑navigation and apparent mine‑clearing action, signaling a direct challenge to Iran’s asserted control of the waterway. Iran publicly warned it could attack unauthorized ships and issued threats specifically aimed at U.S. warships while also saying non‑hostile vessels may transit, creating mixed and dangerous signals for commercial shipping. The transit and Iranian response add to a pattern of attacks and threats across the Gulf and other regional chokepoints, heightening maritime security risks and oil‑market uncertainty.
