US and Israel Strikes on Iran Continue
The United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran. Iran's capital, Tehran, was hit by a large wave of strikes.
The strikes began weeks ago. The Strait of Hormuz, between Iran and Oman, is vital for oil and gas exports.
Ship traffic through the strait has nearly stopped. Trump set a new deadline for Iran to reopen the strait.
Klear Note — The Strait of Hormuz carries about one-third of world's oil and gas. When traffic stops, energy prices rise globally and affect economies worldwide.
Key Terms 2
- Strait of Hormuz
- A narrow sea passage used to ship oil and gas worldwide.
