The United States has reimposed a naval blockade on Iran, escalating tensions as both sides exchange new military strikes.

In response, Iran has launched fresh attacks, though details on casualties or damage remain unclear. The blockade aims to cut off Iran’s oil exports, a key source of revenue, while U.S. officials cite national security concerns.
