Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz closed and the US launches its third wave of strikes in a week
Iran's Revolutionary Guard declared the Strait of Hormuz closed “until further notice” on Saturday after firing on the Cyprus-flagged container ship GFS Galaxy, leaving one crew member missing. Within hours, US forces began a third round of strikes on Iran this week — burying the ceasefire agreed in June and putting a fifth of the world's oil back at risk.
