What happened
Iran is asserting total control over the Strait of Hormuz. Chief of Staff of the Iranian Army, Habibollah Sayyari, stated that the western section of the Strait of Hormuz, the strait itself, and the Persian Gulf are under the full control of the Revolutionary Guard Navy. Iran warned that if the U.S. launches a new attack, the world should prepare for an apocalyptic war. Separately, U.S. and Iranian negotiators are discussing a possible phased deal to end their conflict, which includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of the U.S. economic blockade.
Why it matters
The declaration of full control over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil route, raises serious concerns about global energy supplies. The potential closure of the Bab al-Mandab Strait adds to the risk profile of global maritime trade.
The geopolitical tensions are occurring amid ongoing instability in the region, including attacks on Hizbullah in Lebanon.
