Iran has announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, escalating tensions amid a US blockade, which has also contributed to a recent drop in oil prices below $91. This move comes as the region faces ongoing instability, raising concerns over oil supply routes.
Despite Iran's reopening of the strait, former President Trump has stated that the blockade on Iranian ships and ports will remain in effect, indicating that the situation in the region may continue to be fraught with challenges as the US maintains its stance against Iran.
