Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz are escalating after Iran announced a new ‘area of control’ across key shipping lanes, raising concerns over global energy security. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says commercial vessels can pass safely if they follow its rules, but has warned foreign forces, especially the United States, against entering the zone. Conflicting claims have further muddied the situation, with Iran alleging it forced back a US warship, while Washington insists its vessels passed through unharmed after repelling attacks.
