The US has imposed a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, preventing ships from entering or exiting Iran's ports. The blockade is part of the US and Israel's efforts to strangle Iran's economy and target its shadow fleet, which has been smuggling oil through the strait.
The US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz began on Monday, blocking ships from entering Iran's ports. The blockade targets Tehran's shadow fleet, which has been smuggling oil through the strait. The US Navy will enforce the blockade, with options including visiting and searching ships, launching air operations, and employing electronic weapons. The strait is a critical trade route, with 20% of the world's oil supply passing through it. The blockade could escalate the war with Iran, which has warned of retaliation against the US and Gulf nations.
