Iran closes Strait of Hormuz, warns ships will be targeted
Iran has announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all vessels, following renewed attacks by the United States. The Khatam al-Anbiya military command warned that any ship attempting to pass through the strategic waterway will be targeted. The Strait is a narrow passage linking the Persian Gulf to the open ocean, through which about 20% of the world's oil passes. The move escalates tensions in a key global shipping route.
