Iran's joint military command announced that all oil tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz must use routes approved by Iran or face a "forceful response." This declaration, reported by Iranian state television, comes amid ongoing tensions over the critical waterway, which is vital for international energy supplies. The statement also warned against interference by U.S. forces, threatening a "rapid and decisive reaction."

The U.S. and several Gulf Arab states oppose these charges. Traders on Hyperdash have taken
