Iran’s Revolutionary Guards navy announced in the early hours of Sunday that it has shut down the Strait of Hormuz indefinitely, according to reports from Iranian state media.
The closure was triggered after the naval force fired a warning shot at a ship that it claimed had tried to travel through a route that had not been approved, state media indicated.
No timeline was given for when the strategic waterway might reopen, with authorities stating the closure would remain in effect until further notice.
