Broad summary: The Strait of Hormuz is again the center of a fast-moving military and economic crisis. AP reports that the United States launched new strikes on Iran after President Donald Trump said Washington would reinstate a blockade on Iranian ports and charge ships for safe passage. What happened: Iran responded with attacks against U.S. allies in the Middle East. AP says the exchange has damaged an interim deal that was meant to pause fighting, reopen a key waterway and give negotiators time to work on a permanent end to the war. What is confirmed: The U.S. military said it targeted coastal defense systems, missile and drone sites and maritime capabilities. Iran acknowledged strikes, but full casualty and damage assessments were not available in the source reviewed. What remains uncertain: The scale of damage, the state of shipping through Hormuz and the possibility of renewed diplomacy remain open questions. Why it matters: Hormuz is not only a military headline. A prolonged crisis can affect oil, gas, fertilizers, freight, insurance, airline warnings and inflation expectations.
