## Resource

Iran just shut down the Strait of Hormuz again after a ship ignored their route warning — a move that’s rattling the fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire. While Washington stays silent for now, Iran’s foreign minister met with Oman to discuss the vital waterway, following days of escalating attacks and U.S. retaliation. Meanwhile, Iran’s new supreme leader, who’s been mostly absent since the war began, issued his first public statement vowing national revenge for his father’s death in the opening strikes — just hours after Trump hinted at more strikes.
