What happened

Well supportedReported by 15 independent outlets

An adviser to the Revolutionary Guards’ Commander stated that Iran considers transit routes in the Strait of Hormuz illegal and plans to close them, referring to the southern pathway near Oman's coast. Iran claims the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have full control over the Strait of Hormuz until its demands are met. This follows multiple incidents where Iran targeted shipping near the Oman coast.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The assertion of control over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway, raises concerns about the stability of global energy supplies. While provisional data showed crude exports from the region were at pre-war levels in September, reports indicate that the daily average of ships transiting the waterway is significantly lower than before the war.

Iran has been pushing a revenue model for critical waterway management at the Hormuz chokepoint, a proposal that Marco Rubio has rejected.
