US and Iran Exchange Strikes as Tehran Closes Strait of Hormuz

12 Temmuz 2026France 24

Tensions escalated on Sunday as US and Iranian forces engaged in heavy missile and drone attacks, with Iran specifically targeting US facilities in Gulf states. In a significant development, Tehran announced the closure of the crucial Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime passage for global oil shipments.
This escalation highlights the ongoing conflict between the two nations and raises concerns over regional stability.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for oil transportation, with a significant percentage of the world's oil supply passing through it. The US and Iran have been at odds for years, particularly following the US withdrawal from the nuclear deal in 2018.
The recent military exchanges between the US and Iran mark a dangerous escalation in their long-standing conflict. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz not only threatens regional trade but also has potential implications for global oil prices and security.
