"Iran's military opened fire at a ship trying to pass through the waterway after US President Donald Trump said Washington will continue its blockade on Iranian ports. Trump has refused to end the blockade until a deal is finalized."
"The IRGC announced a clear reversal in Iran's position, saying the Strait of Hormuz would not return to its previous state, amid the blockade of Iranian ports. Control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state, and this strategic waterway is now under strict management and control by the armed forces."
Tensions escalate as Donald Trump accuses Iran of violating a ceasefire while announcing plans to send US negotiators to Pakistan. The Strait of Hormuz, crucial for global oil transit, has become a focal point in the US-Israel conflict with Iran. Iran's military has opened fire on vessels attempting to navigate the strait, reversing earlier commitments to keep it open during a truce. The situation raises concerns over a potential global energy crisis and renewed conflict, as the US maintains its blockade on Iranian ports until a deal is reached.
