Analysis Summary
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officially closed the Strait of Hormuz and attacked a container ship on July 12, 2026, escalating the ongoing US-Iran conflict that began after the February 2026 airstrike that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. This cuts off roughly 20% of global oil supply passing through the waterway and prompted a third round of US military strikes within hours, deepening the military standoff. The closure follows Iran's assertion that the ship violated Iranian-declared transit restrictions in the strategic passage.
