Analysis Summary
Iranian Revolutionary Guard gunboats fired on a commercial tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday as Iran reversed an earlier decision to reopen the waterway during a ceasefire with Israel. This marks a escalation in the dueling blockade tactics both sides have deployed since the February 2026 U.S.-Israel war on Iran began. Trump has signaled attacks will resume if no peace deal is reached by the ceasefire's expiration.
