- Iran's IRGC warned the Strait of Hormuz is 'closed' as 3 tankers were reported hit, per Al Jazeera's live coverage
- Strait of Hormuz ship attacks hit record highs as Iran escalates strikes with little U.S. response, with one Singapore-flagged vessel sunk, per NBC News
Why it matters: The IRGC's 'closed' declaration plus a record-high attack count, paired with minimal U.S. response, puts every transiting vessel — including commercial cargo flagged to multiple nations — at direct risk, with no near-term de-escalation visible across the coverage.
