Iran’s parliament backed a measure on Sunday to close the Strait of Hormuz, a key maritime passage that accounted for 20 percent of global petroleum liquid consumption in 2024.This comes after the United States carried out targeted attacks on key nuclear facilities Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan to decimate Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Vice President JD Vance stated on Sunday that the United States is not at war with Iran, but rather “we’re at war with Iran’s nuclear program.”
