Iran reasserts control of Hormuz Strait as Trump warns against ‘blackmail’
✦ AI Brief
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy has closed the Strait of Hormuz, warning that any ship attempting to pass through will be targeted. The move comes after the US declared a naval blockade on Iranian vessels and ports, which Iran's top negotiator calls a "clumsy and ignorant decision". The blockade is seen as a violation of the ongoing ceasefire agreement.
