Iran re-closes Strait of Hormuz

The fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran is under severe strain as Tehran reversed its decision to open the critical maritime chokepoint.

Iranian officials cited the ongoing U.S. naval blockade of their ports as a breach of trust, leading to renewed restrictions on vessel traffic.

Reports indicate that at least two merchant ships, including an Indian-flagged tanker, came under fire from Revolutionary Guard forces.

President Trump has convened an emergency Situation Room briefing to address the volatility, which threatens to further destabilize global energy markets.
