The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has declared the closure of the Strait of Hormuz until the United States lifts its blockade, escalating tensions in the region. This announcement follows reports of attacks on ships in the area, prompting Iran to take decisive action.
With the Strait of Hormuz being a critical passage for global oil shipments, the ongoing Iran-Israel war and the heightened military presence of the US in the region have intensified concerns over maritime security. The situation remains fluid as both sides navigate the escalating conflict.
