Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have escalated after US President Donald Trump ordered a naval blockade of the key waterway, set to begin on Monday. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard warned that while civilian vessels can pass, any military presence would be met with a strong response. Senior Iranian officials also said Tehran would not yield to pressure. Reports indicate the US lacks a clear strategy for a potential Iranian reaction, while Iran has already restricted the movement of several vessels. Observers warn the situation could heighten the risk of regional conflict and disrupt major shipping routes.
