Iran closes Strait of Hormuz after US attack

Iran announced the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all maritime traffic, warning against targeting any vessel or tanker attempting to pass through, following American attacks on targets in southern Iran. It added that the strait is closed to all types of ships, including oil tankers, and rejected US claims that ships are passing normally, confirming that it targeted two vessels that attempted to transit after the closure was announced. This decision comes amid escalating tensions between Iran and the United States following recent American strikes and ongoing naval clashes in the region.
