Tension in the Strait of Hormuz
134
Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz again. This is a vital sea route for oil. Ships must use paths that Iran allows. An Iranian drone hits a ship from Singapore. The ship has damage but keeps moving. The US military shoots down 3 more drones. President Donald Trump is very angry. He says: Iran breaks the peace deal. Iran says: We protect the region. Iran wants money from the ships in the future. They call this a fee. The USA and Arab countries say no. They want free travel for all ships. Oman planned new paths for ships. Iran does not like this. It wants to manage the sea alone or with Oman. The USA meets with other countries in Bahrain. They demand: Iran must not build atomic weapons. Iran calls this an interference.
