Iran has declared the Strait of Hormuz closed to all vessel traffic, including commercial ships and oil tankers, following US strikes on multiple targets. This action follows reports that Iran utilized missiles and drones to strike US vessels near the strait. These events have intensified geopolitical tensions, potentially leading to further military escalations.
