Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz Indefinitely, Seizes Ship Amid US Strikes

Iran has announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz 'until further notice,' linking the move to what it calls ongoing US interference in the region. Iranian forces also seized or attacked a ship, citing an 'unauthorised route' as justification for the action.

The announcement came as the United States launched a new round of strikes in the region. No timeline has been given for when the strait may reopen.
