What happened

Well supportedReported by 12 independent outlets

The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for months following a war that began with joint strikes by the United States and Israel on Iranian sites. Reports indicate that Iran has placed mines and largely controls movement through the waterway, which is crucial for global energy flows. Recently, Iran's Revolutionary Guards struck vessels attempting to cross the strait, claiming they were using unauthorized routes or disabling transponders. Furthermore, strikes have spread beyond the strait, affecting transit channels near Qatar, the UAE, and Sohar.
