Iran Deploys New Anti-Ship Missile, Threatens Hormuz Closure

Iran's National Security Council chief Mohsen Rezaei announced deployment of a new anti-ship missile and warned of closing the Strait of Hormuz, accusing the US of lying. The claim of closure is rhetorical for now, but missile deployment signals escalation in the Persian Gulf. This raises the risk of supply disruption through a critical chokepoint, though actual closure remains unconfirmed.
