Iran closes strait of Hormuz again ‘until US lifts blockade’
Iran has re-closed the Strait of Hormuz to shipping, reversing a brief reopening, after the US stated it would maintain its blockade of Iranian ports. The IRGC reportedly fired on a tanker attempting to pass through the strait. Iran says the restrictions will remain until the US ensures full freedom of navigation for Iranian vessels.
