## Resource

Iran shuts down the Strait of Hormuz again, blaming U.S. strikes, sparking global alarm as the chokepoint for oil flows faces disruption. UN chief Guterres demands an immediate ceasefire, while Kuwait and Qatar report attacks with casualties, and Oman formally protests Iranian aggression. U.S. President Trump claims heavy retaliation, saying a deal with Iran was nearly done — but U.S. forces insist traffic continues through the strait. Iran’s top advisor calls the waterway more vital than nuclear weapons, as Pakistan urges restraint amid rising tensions.
