Iran says the Strait of Hormuz is now completely shut, declaring that vessels cannot transit the critical energy chokepoint while American military operations continue. The Persian Gulf Strait Authority said applications would only be reviewed and permits issued after stability returns, warning that unauthorised ships would receive no guarantee of safety. The announcement follows an IRGC claim that two tankers attempting to use a US-backed alternative route were struck and brought to a halt, while four others reversed course. Those claims have not been independently verified. Roughly one-fifth of globally traded oil and liquefied natural gas passed through Hormuz during peacetime. Washington is attempting to demonstrate that military escorts can force the route open, while Tehran insists every tanker still requires its permission—and shipping companies currently appear unwilling to test either side.
