Summary
Iran just shut down the Strait of Hormuz — a vital chokepoint for 20% of global oil and LNG — amid escalating regional tensions. The move follows a reported ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, but Iran insists Lebanon must be included for any deal to hold. They blame Israel’s continued strikes and accuse the U.S. of breaking its part of the agreement, warning ships to stay away or face consequences. With mediations underway and Iran watching closely for compliance, the closure threatens global energy markets and could spark further escalation in a volatile web of regional conflicts.
