Iran Attacks US Base in Jordan After Tanker Strikes
Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei said Sunday the country will announce a new restricted zone near the Strait of Hormuz within days, along with sanctioning any vessel that enters it.
- The zone starts at the U.S. blockade line, extends toward the strait, and into the Persian Gulf.
- 10 commodity ships per day transited the strait in the past 10 days — the lowest since May.
- Brent crude rose 0.8% to above $97 a barrel Monday on the renewed conflict.
- U.S. forces struck three Iranian oil tankers Saturday, including one off Kharg Island.
Why it matters: The strait is a critical global energy chokepoint. Sustained disruption affects oil prices and supply chains worldwide.
- Iran's oil exports flow 90% through Kharg Island, which Tehran says has been struck roughly 550 times in prior months.
- U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said transits are averaging over 9 million barrels per day — down sharply from pre-conflict levels of about 20 million barrels.
How 65 sources split on this story
Where they split: The core dispute is whether Iran can meaningfully enforce a new restricted zone against U.S. naval power already operating in the waterway.
Center coverage, 31 sources: The center presents the restricted zone as one move in an ongoing tit-for-tat conflict, foregrounding oil market data and diplomatic stalemate without favoring either party's claims.
