Iran Tightens Strait of Hormuz Grip as Ceasefire Deadline Approaches
TL;DR Summary
Iran says it will keep restricting ships through the Strait of Hormuz as long as the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports remains in place, complicating mediators’ efforts to extend a two-week ceasefire. With roughly one-fifth of global oil trade passing through the strait, the move risks deepening the energy crisis and sparking renewed fighting, even as Pakistan-led talks seek a new round of negotiations.
