The IRGC has issued a statement confirming its decision to close the Strait of Hormuz, citing security concerns. The move is expected to have significant implications for global energy markets and trade routes.

Iran’s military actions in the Gulf region have been ongoing for several days, with reports of attacks on oil tankers and other infrastructure targets. The IRGC has not provided further details on its plans or intentions behind the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
