Iran asserts control over Strait of Hormuz
Change
Iran asserted control over the Strait of Hormuz and warned ships not to pass.
Why it matters
Iran has warned vessels and is moving to formalize tolls, effectively restricting unescorted commercial transit through the strait. This raises immediate barriers to free passage and increases uncertainty for oil, gas and fertilizer shipments dependent on that route.
