Iran war: What is happening on day 45 of the US-Iran conflict?
Iran tries to cosy up to Europe to increase pressure on US
AI Summary
On day 45 of the US-Iran conflict, tensions escalated after President Trump announced a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for global oil supply, following failed peace talks in Islamabad. The US military stated the blockade of Iranian ports would begin Monday at 14:00 GMT. Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned that any military vessels approaching the strait would be considered a breach of ceasefire and met with force. Iranian officials condemned the blockade as "ridiculous" and accused the US of "maximalism." The blockade announcement has already pushed oil prices above $100 a barrel and raised concerns about global supply disruptions, while Israeli attacks on Lebanon continue.
