Iran's warning on Hormuz Strait
Iran's army says ships from countries complying with US sanctions could face 'hardship' when passing through the Strait of Hormuz, escalating tensions. The warning comes after a projectile hit a cargo ship near Qatar, though no injuries were reported. The strait is a vital route for Gulf oil and gas, so any disruption affects global energy markets. Meanwhile, US sanctions target Iran-linked procurement networks, and diplomacy continues with Qatar mediating regional talks. The conflict's spillover includes attacks in Lebanon and ongoing casualties in Gaza.
