Analysis Summary
Iran fired on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday and reimposed restrictions on the waterway after the U.S. maintained its blockade of Iranian ports. The strait, which handles roughly one-third of global seaborne oil trade, is now functionally closed again after Iran briefly reopened it Friday. Both sides are escalating their respective blockades in what outlets describe as an unprecedented standoff during ongoing U.S.-Israel military operations against Iran.
