What happened
The United States has maintained a blockade on Iranian shipments in the Strait of Hormuz. This action follows the US reinstating the blockade on Iran on July 13, 2026. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian recently traveled to a regional summit to address allies amid the economic blockade imposed by the United States.

Why it matters
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global energy, keeps the price of gas and other goods high. Iran's leaders believe military pressure will ultimately force the United States to accept their control over the waterway. The blockade is noted as having battered Iran's own economy.
