Tehran warns it will continue to block strait as long as Trump blockades Iran-linked shipping; US president says blockade 'in full force' until regime reaches a deal, including on its nuclear program The post Iran reimposes Hormuz closure after US maintains blockade;

Iranian military officials said Saturday that conditions in the Strait of Hormuz have reverted to "strict control," citing the continued U.S. blockade of its ports, just one day after declaring the waterway “completely open.

The standoff over the Strait of Hormuz escalated again Saturday as Iran reversed its reopening of the crucial waterway and fired on ships attempting to pass, in retaliation after the United States pressed ahead with its blockade of Iranian ports.

Iran's military has accused the U.S. of failing to fulfil its obligations after the Strait of Hormuz was reopened on Friday.

As Iran reimposes restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz, its high-speed ‘mosquito fleet’ is emerging as a key threat to global oil tankers, triggering distress signals and rerouting of vessels amid escalating US tensions.

Trump says the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will remain and attacks will resume if no agreement is reached with Iran.

Iran’s decision to levy tolls on ships passing through the crucial choke hold has an unlikely connection to the site of Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet.’
