US naval blockade halts Iran crude exports via Hormuz for first time on record
Al-Monitor·IR · US·2 days ago
US forces conducted a major operation in the Strait of Hormuz, striking 60 targets and intercepting 40 ships, reportedly seizing 18 million barrels of oil. The operation aims to gradually degrade Iran's naval capabilities and deter further disruptions to shipping lanes. Details on the timeline and Iranian response remain unclear, but the scale suggests a significant escalation in the ongoing maritime conflict.
