The Latest: Standoff Escalates After Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz over US Blockade
Iran will allow only some ships through the Strait of Hormuz and charge tolls as attacks on vessels continue, reports said.
- Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps declared the Strait of Hormuz fully closed Saturday, announcing that vessels 'approaching the Strait of Hormuz will be considered cooperation with the enemy and any offending vessel will be targeted,' less than a day after reopening it.
- The initial reopening Friday came as part of a 10-day ceasefire between Israeli and Iranian-backed Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, with Iran allowing commercial ships passage under toll conditions on coordinated routes.
- Two vessels came under attack Saturday as Iranian gunboats fired in the Strait, with the British military's United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center confirming the incidents and crews remaining safe, prompting contributor Inzamam Rashid to report 'absolute chaos and complete disruption.'
- President Donald Trump claimed on Truth Social that Iran 'has agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again' and it 'will no longer be used as a weapon against the World,' though he expelled press from the Oval Office when questioned about the attacks.
- Roughly one-fifth of global oil passes through the Strait, and the closure threatens to squeeze constrained supply and drive prices higher, while at least 3,000 have been killed in Iran and nearly 2,300 in Lebanon, with Iran viewing the blockade as a ceasefire violation.
