Iran shuts Strait of Hormuz amid peace deal dispute
Iran has announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz following Israeli strikes in Lebanon, claiming the attacks violate the recently established 60-day peace deal. The United States Central Command disputes this claim, stating Iran does not control the waterway and that maritime traffic continues to flow. Former CIA officer Mike Baker explains that while vessels are moving through the strait, Iran's closure declaration creates uncertainty in the shipping and insurance industries, effectively disrupting normal operations regardless of military control.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy…
