The situation in the Strait of Hormuz has escalated, according to reports. Iranian Revolutionary Guards claimed they used a combined missile and drone attack to stop four ships attempting to pass through the strait, which they said were aided by the 'terrorist' U.S. military. Additionally, two oil tankers reportedly struck mines and exploded, which Tehran blamed on U.S. intelligence misleading them. The U.S. military denied these claims, stating they were false. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran at the start of the Iran war had significant global economic impacts due to its role in international trade of oil and liquefied natural gas.
