Iran closes Strait of Hormuz until further notice

# The U.S. military launched strikes on Iran after it struck a ​container ship earlier today, while Tehran said it had again closed the Strait of Hormuz. A series of attacks between the U.S. and Iran ‌over the past several days led President Donald Trump to declare the end of a ceasefire meant to halt the fighting. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps said the Strait of Hormuz is closed until further notice and until the end of America’s interventions in the region, and no vessel will be permitted to pass through.
