Where
Strait of Hormuz

As U.S. strikes resumed, Iran's top joint military command said the Strait of Hormuz was closed to the passage of any vessel, including oil tankers, and that ships trying to pass would be targeted; Tasnim then said the IRGC Navy struck two 'violating ships'. CENTCOM said commercial ships were still transiting the strait and that no U.S. warships had been hit.

Why it matters

Iran's strait authority said the next day that Hormuz was closed 'until further notice'.
