The Day Iran Reclosed Hormuz

Morning reports detailed Iran's announcement that it had reclosed the Strait of Hormuz to limited shipping, citing the continuation of the American naval blockade. By late morning, coverage shifted to Iranian forces firing on commercial vessels attempting to pass through the strait, with multiple sources detailing the military action and Tehran's refusal of further talks with the US. Throughout the afternoon, President Trump maintained an optimistic tone about ongoing negotiations while dismissing Iranian attempts at leverage, stating "they won't squeeze us."
