The United States has initiated a third round of strikes against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, following Iran's claim that it closed the waterway after striking a vessel for using an unauthorized route. U.S. Central Command stated these actions are intended to penalize Iran for attacking civilian mariners and commercial ships. This escalation occurs amidst ongoing negotiations for a ceasefire agreement, with Iran asserting control over the strait and charging passage fees, a move that previously contributed to a global energy crisis.
