Iran declares Strait of Hormuz closed amid US strikes
Iran has declared the Strait of Hormuz closed following US military strikes on 140 Iranian targets, which were launched in retaliation for Iran's attack on a commercial vessel. The US Central Command disputes Iran's claim, stating the critical waterway remains open to all vessels, while President Trump warns of overwhelming force if shipping is attacked or Iranian aggression continues. The ongoing conflict raises concerns about potential impacts on global oil prices and fuel costs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
