Iran closes Strait of Hormuz again as U.S. responds to reported gunboat fire
Iran has again closed the Strait of Hormuz, blocking access in response to U.S. restrictions on Iranian ports. Reports indicate that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard gunboats fired on at least two commercial ships, causing damage but no injuries. At the White House, President Trump downplayed the move while signing an executive order, saying the U.S. is taking a firm stance as officials continue discussions.
