- Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has come to an almost complete standstill as the US and Iran exchanged strikes for a fourth night this week.
- Fighting has broken out over a disagreement about an interim peace deal that proposed Iran manage shipping through the Strait of Hormuz along with Oman.
- Renewed hostilities began last week after Tehran attacked three commercial vessels in Hormuz for reportedly bypassing Iranian-approved routes to take a shipping lane by the Omani coast instead.
