What happened
Iran has resumed attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. This follows the US President Donald Trump's rejection of a peace proposal made by Iran regarding the Strait. The US has since imposed an economic blockade on Iran. Separately, on September 14, an Iranian anti-ship cruise missile struck a vessel with US Marines, resulting in injuries to eight service members.
Why it matters
The renewed hostility tests the viability of diplomatic solutions between Iran and the United States. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that Iran could target American vessels across the Indian Ocean if a new war began. The strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz remains high, handling a fifth of global oil demand.
