## Resource

The U.S. is re-imposing a naval blockade on Iran, declaring the Strait of Hormuz open — with or without Tehran’s cooperation — and demanding a 20% fee on all cargo passing through to cover security costs. This move follows Iran’s claim of closing the vital oil chokepoint, sparking renewed military tensions, missile strikes, and soaring oil prices. The President floated the idea of U.S. guardianship backed by international contributions, while Iran blames U.S. aggression for destabilizing the region and undermining a recent ceasefire deal — all as global markets brace for further escalation.
