US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that Operation Epic Fury, launched in February against Iran, has ended. The US is now focused on a new operation to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Rubio described current US military action as a 'defensive operation.' Iran has launched a new system to govern maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and issued a renewed warning to ships intending to transit the strait. The US, along with several other countries, has drafted a UN Security Council resolution requiring Iran to cease attacks, mining, and tolling, and to cooperate with efforts to remove sea mines. Demand for oil is falling at a rapid rate, and US gas prices have increased by 50% since the start of the war.
