The renewed military actions have placed the critical Strait of Hormuz under threat, impacting global maritime trade. The conflict follows the breakdown of a major diplomatic agreement between the two nations, which had previously reopened the Strait for commercial shipping.

The renewed conflict follows a period where the U.S. and Iran had agreed to a 14-point Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at easing financial strain on Iran and reopening the Strait of Hormuz for commercial ships.
