What happened
Talks held in Doha raised hopes that the Strait of Hormuz could reopen, though fresh attacks on Gulf shipping have tempered this relief. Exchanges of accusations and attacks between the United States and Iran in Hormuz have made any truce extremely fragile. In July 2026, an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz was hit by a shell, marking the second such attack in a few days.
