Sky News Defence Analyst Peter Jennings says the Strait of Hormuz is likely “closing” after the fresh strikes despite US President Donald Trump’s claim it is staying open. “I’m not aware of much shipping going through, and that’s because shipping lines have the discretion to decide for themselves how much risk they want their tankers to take,” Mr Jennings told Sky News host James Morrow. “History tells us that the answer is very, very little. “If there is a presumption of a threat which comes about, for example, with the Iranians attacking four boats in the last 72 hours or so, you’re not going to have much in the way of big shipping moving through the Strait. “I suspect we’re going to be in that kind of situation for some time.”
