Iran shuts Hormuz again as U.S. blockade continues

Iran has shut the Strait of Hormuz again, citing continued U.S. naval interception of ships from its ports. The move comes hours after a brief reopening that had raised hopes of progress in U.S.–Iran talks. Tehran has warned of further closures if the blockade continues, risking disruption to a major share of global oil supply, even as diplomatic efforts and a fragile Lebanon ceasefire continue.
