Iran fully closes Strait of Hormuz over US blockade and fires on ships - AP News
Overview
Iran announced a full closure of the Strait of Hormuz and has fired on ships attempting to pass, with reports of multiple military and merchant vessels targeted. The more recent strike on a cargo ship transiting a U.N.-backed lane reinforces Tehran’s willingness to target commercial traffic, further complicating diplomatic de-escalation and heightening risks to shipping.
