Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz Again
War in the Middle East
Iran says that it is shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, and that it has struck a ship attempting to transit along an unapproved route.
The Iran Revolutionary Guard navy says it is closing off the key waterway until further notice. Conflict in the Middle East persists after US President Donald Trump said that a ceasefire between the two countries is over. But, Trump said talks between the two countries will continue. Roughly a fifth of the world’s oil supply went through the Strait before the war.
