The US-Iran war: passage through the Strait of Hormuz
Active · last development Sep 21: “Trump rejects Iranian proposal to open strait”
What this arc covers
The fight over whether ships can pass through the Strait of Hormuz during the US-Iran war, including blockades, transit restrictions, attacks on vessels, shipping security and efforts to restore passage. Strikes against land targets belong to the separate strikes matter unless a story independently advances both the attacks and maritime passage.
