Iran announces closure of Strait of Hormuz after strikes on US targets in Middle East

Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz following a naval confrontation involving the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The IRGC fired a naval cruise missile at a vessel accused of using an unauthorized route. In response, the United States launched another wave of strikes. The Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy chokepoint, will remain closed until further notice.
