The United States has demanded that Iran halt all attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil shipments. A US official stated, "We expect the Iranians to say ... that every channel in the strait will be open and that it will be toll-free." The demand comes amid rising tensions over Iranian threats to disrupt shipping in the region. The Strait of Hormuz handles about 20% of the world's oil supply, making any closure a major economic risk. Washington has not specified what actions it will take if Iran refuses.
